Opening up NSC just now, about 0.5 seconds later, the following invitation appeared:

UK Visitor Survey:

You have been selected to take part in this 30-second national survey.

Upon completion you will have the opportunity to win the NEW Apple® iPad2 or an Apple iPhone® 5.

Simply click START NOW to begin the 30-second survey for your chance to win:



The only way to get shot of the message was to log off from Internet Explorer. Are people that desperate to off-load Apple® stuff that they interrupt a chap going about his ordinary business?

Exactly the same for me as well, been getting it every day this week.

:angry:

I have had exactly this experience at least twice.

Nope - IE only

Also happened when using Windows 7 rather than XP

I have the virtual ear of a Google engineer, which is all but a miracle, and he's willing to try and help.

What I need is the following from anyone who gets a rogue re-direct...

The URL of the NSC page you were accessing
What action caused the redirect - did it just happen or were you clicking to access a new page
Approximate time it happened
Your IP address (use What Is My IP Address? Lookup IP, Hide IP, Change IP, Trace IP and more... to get it)
The URL of the page you were redirected to

If you can email me - bozza@northstandchat.com - I can get the info to the Google engineer who should be able to try and trace the issue.
