Canadian pharmacy?
#4
I used to run several online forums so I did a quick check into this issue and verified the URL redirect- it's not coming from google.

Somebody has placed a URL redirect at http://www.punaweb.org/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=2 and also http://punaweb.org/Forum/default.asp

Unfortunately, this is usually a symptom that the forum software or the server it resides on has been hacked. Usually it means that somebody has placed a conditional URL redirect somewhere on the punaweb site. They used the one that google was trying to link to in order to drive traffic to their bogus online pharmacy.

First place to look is your .htaccess files.

But more importantly, it means that the fundamental security measures potentially are no longer effective. Somebody maybe using the breach in security to drive traffic to a bogus pharmacy site- they could just as easily steal all the information in the user database (including passwords). If the case, I would actually assume that this has already happened. They can also, at their will, crash the site, delete all the info in the SQL database (punaweb could be deleted), etc.

ETA: If I'm right, a system administrator should consider this an "emergency". If I'm wrong- well, I've been out of this business for a few years cut me some slack.
