Didnt know where else to post this, Gunbroker is experimenting with new advertising and they seem to carry an Aluron virus. I have all the top end protection software but it still got me. Be weary of this site for now

I've noticed in recent days their search function was screwy and not working right. This probably explains it.

Yup, something bad is going on at the GB site. For right now, they can go broke for all I care. I won't go back until I hear a lot of posts that things have been fixed.

Not sure about any virus, I run a couple different anti virus scans and nothing comes up. The cliché in the search I think is purposeful. When you go to click a category it instead pulls up an advertisement. They do this cause they get paid for it. Reason I think its on purpose is it only does it sometimes then it works fine. Actually it seems to do it when your not signed in once you sign in it doesnt do it. You can avoid this by just clicking the gray "Browse Category" box , that will bring you to another page where you can then pick where you want to go.

Rigby, I just tried your suggestion but I still get ads popping up. My blocker wont allow me to click on them but they are still there. I e mailed GB to tell them about the malware and virus They responded by stating they are "trying " new advertisements ... Sucks

I have sent them 2 emails. First reply was like yours, "trying new ads etc." Who cares? I told them it sucks also. I hate all the flashing BS! "you have just won whatever!" Its crap.

I use Mozilla Firefox and I haven't experienced any of the ads or pop ups I read about here. I was just there before coming here and nothing abnormal happened. Now excuse me while I go and knock on wood!
UPDATE: I just went and looked a little closer and see that they have have slipped an ad in between the listings.
