Happened on both home and work PC, but its the same chrome profile so not 100% certain that is it not an extension causing it.
Basically after sitting on the homepage for a little while, it redirected to one of those fake pages saying mcaffee has found something.

Anyone else see this happen at all recently? I have allowed this site for adblocks, but if this is the result I will be blocking again.
Still happening. At least the firewall at work is blocking the scam redirect site.
tnmc6xr71o.sbs is where it takes me. Did it twice.
Still getting impacted by this.
Haven't experienced this at all on Chrome for Mac.
Its interesting - I haven't experienced it either with FireFox on either Win11 or Ubuntu (at least as far as I know).
Do you have the ads blocker off for the site?
Correct - I have no ad-blocking for cheapies.nz
Yep got the same yesterday, just checked my history for McAfee and there it is, this is the link which I didn't click through.

We got yankee spies on this site?
That's really interesting, and effectively debunks any idea of malware on either of the machines used by @richms
I'm now thinking it is more likely due to a dodgy ad as mentioned above.
The website appears to redirect from adspredictiv.com, seems to be hiding behind Cloudflare and the domain registrant is unknown. I've reported the issue to abuse @ Cloudflare and also sent them the link to this discussion forum. Neil has also emailed Publift (our advertising network provider) last Sunday morning so hopefully the issue will be fixed.
Same here, happened a few times today with Ublock off.
Has also happened to me, on multiple computers (both chrome, but separate profiles)
Still happening, yesterday and now today.
Me too
Me too
Happens every time I start a comment. Just happened now.
At least a relief my computer isn't infected. Well I really hope.
Also happening to me,
I try limit Ad blocking on sites like this to support them but will have to if this keeps happening :\
I’ve been getting it the past few days too intermittently
We're continuing discussions with the ad network provider and have linked to the new comments here.
i have got it 5 times on my pc and once on my laptop this week
Somewhat of a concern, not sure if my worry senses should be on higher alert, but got this on another site, gpforums. Only the once but should I be concerned?
I have just had it also.
It is still happening !!
We're still awaiting a resolution. Sorry everyone.
In the meantime, you can switch off your ads:
My Account -ChoiceCheapies Settings
Banner ads: No ads
shouldn't this just be forced for every user in the meantime.
Same wtf, i thought it was just me so went to the forums and yeah
When I leave cheapies open for a while it redirects to migaxubsw.online. I thought maybe my browser was hijacked but I'm on a work computer that's pretty locked down so I doubt it.
Is this an ad server or something?
We should have a possible solution we'll try out tomorrow. Thanks for bearing with us.
Wait, people see ads? What is this, the early 2000s?
You've done it now.
What is this, the early 2000s?
There is much evidence to suggest that we are actually in the late nineties.
I don't ad-block this site, and I have never had anything like that happen, so I doubt that is the underlying issue.
My best guess is that you have malware of some kind on one or both of your machines - perhaps the infection spread from one to the other via something in common (the Chrome profile as you mention would seem the most likely vector, but could be something else if you share anything else between the two).
You could try deleting all your Chrome extensions on both machines, and see if that helps. If so, then research each one fully, and if it sounds legit, re-install from the original source (never from a third party location), one at a time, preferably only on one machine, and see if the issue recurs on that machine. If so, then you have likely determined the culprit.
Yup got it today on my laptop with ublock origin disabled I was like wtf. Cheapies def sent me there as well maybe some malicious code infected the site or shitty ad? Xd
