Several times now within the past few days when I've been on Zoochat I've suddenly been redirected to an ad page without clicking on anything. Mostly the kind that don't like letting you go back to the page you were on. Getting annoying when I'm reading through a forum and suddenly I'm getting redirected to some unknown ad. Anyone else experiencing this or is it something on my end? It's only happening on Zoochat so making me wonder if it's a setting or something?
 
Hasn't happened to me at all, at least.

Usually that kind of thing means a virus or similar issue at your end.
 
Is it that stuff that says that you have been chosen to win something? If so, that is a virus and you might want to take some action.

Certainly not something that is supposed to be happening.

Next time it happens, please copy the URL and if possible, take a screenshot and email them both to me - support@zoochat.com

A virus was my first thought, but it's only happening on Zoochat. If it was a virus I'd expect it to show up on other webpages as well. Also I do have good security software on my computer and it's not showing any issues.
