Thus far on CBR only I have had numerous browser hijacks. Its making it through my ad blocker I have and keeps sending me to a site. Then I hit the back button and manage to stay in CBR. But its happening a lot on CBR . Also there is a pop up ad that somehow made it through my ad blocker.
Is anyone else going through the same problem ?

I'm not.
Have you updated your blocker and ran a virus/adware scan recently?

Yes, I've been getting this occasionally over the last couple of days now. It opens another tab and takes me to a site that says my Firefox (or something similar) may be outdated and suggests I download an update. I've run a number of anti-virus and anti-malware/spyware/adware scans, and they've found nothing.
I think sometimes these issues happen because of the servers that embedded ads are hosted on. I don't know the mechanics of how it works, but I remember that a couple years ago TheDigitalBits.com got flagged as a site containing malicious software, but the problem was related to an issue with the separate server where their ads were hosted. It was something like another website on that server had malware, so because of the connection TDB got flagged as a result. With my scans turning up nothing, I started wondering if maybe that was the issue here.
