I think some kind of redirect malware has attached itself to this page. My anti malware stuff stops it whenever I come here and just notifies me that a redirect was attempted. This is the only site that I have this problem with and it just started yesterday. I have scanned my system several times today with all of the tools in my arsenal and have found nothing. Being as how this is the only page it happens on, it may be worth looking into. Does anyone else have anti malware software that informs them if a redirect is occuring and if so has it happened here? Just trying to help out so someone doesnt get a background redirect to something harmful. ;D

It appears after some research that some of the ads on the page are showing up on antimalware companies websites as distributors for malware(fake scans etc.). I installed adblock for chrome and the ads are no longer connected to the page when I access it. Problem solved. ;D It has something to do with who proboards allows to advertise. It was actually happening on the three proboards forums I visit and only on those pages.

@emergencyoverdrive Yep, pretty much same for me with some ads; once there was some pop-up here which caused browser hi-jack alert.
