As a preface, I know my computer and it's not infected. Full AV/Malwarebytes/Spybot scans ran. Issue only on SG with Adblock turned off. Turning Adblock on seems to eliminate it so I figure this is an ad script.
When opening any page, there is a chance that the page will open and then 1 second later redirects to a page that tries to convince me to "update Java". It's not a legit Java webpage (not to mention Java does not update in this way) and reports online find that this "update" is just a Malware package.
For the record, the link is "http://javeupdatecaa.com/download/chrome.php?dv1=Ybrant%20Digital". If you land on a page with a URL that looks like this, back out. It does not appear to Drive-By so you should be OK as long as you don't click the "download" button.
A duplicate ticket is being sent to support as it's likely a bad advert; this is just a warning to Forumites.
UPDATE: Seems cg has made some changes that have fixed the issue. Thanks for the quick attention to the problem cg!
UPDATE: Seems to have returned, but under a new URL: "http://get-new-java.com/index.php?dv1=Ybrant%20Digital".
UPDATE: New changes have been made to nip this issue. Please let me know in the comments below if it comes back for any of you.
