This happened to me yesterday. When I went to an NYT story, I was redirected to this "virus scan" page.

  Happened to me yesterday, too, from an HN link - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=819367 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=819367

    Same. I eventually refreshing a bunch of times recycled the ads and I was able to view the article without an annoying redirect.

  Same, but it happened on my iphone. I won't tell you how strange it was to see a "virus scan" in a Windows XP window on my iphone.
