I clicked on the link to this forum and a new tab opened instantly and loaded this page:

I had to force-quit Safari to get rid of it. You can probably guess what I think of these adverts (never mind the software that they advertise).

Just to make sure it's not a fault on my Mac, I clicked randomly in some other forums. No tabs opened, so it's definitely a problem with digitalspy.
The certificate for this website is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be "getadblock.com", which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the website anyway?
(No thanks.)
See for yourself if your browser allows you. http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=https://getadblock.com
In fact forget Safari and use another browser until you've solved it.
edit: also check the obvious like your system date and time.
