It seems every time I visit TFO I get a malware installed on my laptop and I have to remove it. I'm all over the internet and this is the only place it happens. I removed it once again this morning, just visited here now and it's back.

Just a head's up, not sure it happens to anyone else. I do have anti-virus installed.

I have never had it happen, but then again, I'm on an iPad only. Maybe @Josh can help with why this happens to you.
Also, @jaizei may have an idea or two.

Tonight, twice, for the first time, i got a warning on my computer about this site when I was changing pages
I just passed by it without paying much attention to what it said, but it made me type in one of those things to prove you're not a robot.
If it happens again, i'll give you more info.

I've been here more than 5 years and I've used over a dozen different devices and I've never had that happen. I've logged on from hotel or office PCs, Macs, Phones, iPads and never an issue.

Hmm...

Ya it's weird. I didn't visit here for a while and when I came back I immediately got some shopping ads popping up at the bottom and side of the page. I ran malware remover and it found the items and removed them. Came back here a few days later and they popped up again right away. Only on my laptop.
