Quick Browser Search?

honru · 2005-10-18 13:31:42

When I click on a thread/forum every so often I get linked to a site called "Quick Browser Search". They state that the "page requested could not be found"... Anyone else get this? It looks like adware but has it to do with the upgrade?

It's adware. The Connection Timeout things is boards.ie's problem, but your "Page could not be displayed" page has been hijacked.
