Sorry - first, sorry I tried reaching someone through chat about it (discord is new!) and one of the moderators told me to leave it under feedback.

 

Not running any anti-malware. I don't need to in order to make the claim (I still need to reinstall my OS so real need). Malicious is the intent of causing harm. A link to the redirect was provided with an warning to disable sound / remove headphones before proceeding. Here it is again so you don't have to search around between threads: http://bnd3.redirect00002.net/?sttn=flow

 

The time of the ad was 2017 October 21 at around 3:00 pm pacific time. (Between 2:50 and 3:05) I live in Fallbrook, California and my ISP says I am in Carlsbad, California.

 

It was from a Skyrim Special Edition mod. I think https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164 or from the mod search page.

 

All this information is being pulled from my browser's history which overwrites previous visits to the same URL with the most recent visit.

 

I was browsing the site looking for mods while watching youtube videos while the pages loaded when the noise started, I found the tab, tried to close it, got more messages from the site, then force closed the browser. I attempted restoring my previous session with the volume reduced to try and navigate around the website back to the original page but was presented with another window, both prompting for a webpage login which couldn't be canceled out of. Sorry I can't provide any more help than this and I hope you're able to identify it. I was logged in, if endorsements and downloads weren't enough to log, maybe that information would help? There are only so many pages that I loaded
