Default Forum and Java update malware?

I was browsing forums on my work computer and got an update prompt saying that java was in use on the page and if i wanted to update and use it.

Well I did the first time and apparently it loaded some pho windows security program said there were issues on the computer. It locked out the internet saying it was unsafe and insisted it let this program be installed.

I shut it down in safe mode and did a system restore, and have AVG and malwarebytes loaded on my work comp as well as my home comps.

Since I have done the restore I have had the same prompt from java saying java is in use on the forum pages and do I want to update and install.

I have been declining and canceling since then, and today I just saw it on my brand new home laptop, my scanners do not report anything malicious but I am still declining it all.

Anyone else had a problem like this on the forums? Didn't know where else to post. I guess I'll dup this onto blue forum too.
