Hollus doesn’t run this place, and in particular not the IT part.

If you don’t see that I am trying to help here, I don’t know what to say.

Anyways, it looks like something changed very recently, and now it is no longer an isolated edge case. A bit more detail on this redirects could help: Location? Device? When did it start?

This has reappeared for me. As before, I suspect this is ad-network related "Malvertising".

Edit: This might be a false positive report by my virus software.

To those who still have this issue: please report back with time, your location and the url you are sent to.

It can't be anything else but a crappy ad but I need more specifics to be able to get it blocked
Asking for locations since most ads are region targeted.

It's definitely not generic. I have never seen this issue myself.
