Is anyone else's browser getting redirected to spam sites?

For the past few days, my browser has been getting redirected to random sites when trying to click threads or subforum links on rx7club.


According to my browser history (Firefox 10.0.2), I was redirected to these sites (in order) when trying to click on a thread in the 3rd Gen section:

http://www.google-analytics.com/gc.js?1&ou=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rx7club.com%2Fshowthre ad.php%3Ft%3D990689&p=0.37322218973268717

^^the last link is the page the browser stopped at.




At first, I assumed that I might have some sort of virus or malware on my PC, but today I googled the name of the activitycatalogue.com site and found this may be happening to other InternetBrands forums also:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/technical-issues/1313868-malicious-calls-powerpint-net-ft-merged-threads.html




Has anyone else noticed this sort of behavior, or do I need to keep looking for malware installed on my PC?
