Oricorio Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 From this site, I have been redirected to a couple of sites that look... suspicious at the very least. Here's a picture of one of 'em: Spoiler I got another one that claimed to be Microsoft, and told me I had to fix my computer in a flashy manner and had a pop-up that told me to download something from the site (it was obviously malware). What's worse is that that one didn't let me tun it off, so I had to shut down the computer. Can someone investigate these mysterious redirecting ads and get rid of them? If I have to worry about getting spyware every time I click on something, then I might not use this site at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I haven't been experiencing this, so I'm unsure if its the site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jyosua Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I haven't seen this either, nor have I seen this particular domain come up in any topics about adsense malvertising. I suspect it's either your ISP injecting bad ads, some malware you have hijacking our ads, or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) You might consider running scans with your preferred malware/virus scanner to help rule out the latter. Malwarebytes is a solid free malware scanner with a high rate of detection if you don't have a paid suite (and is typically used alongside paid suites anyway). Running your browser in safe mode/incognito would help identify malicious browser extensions that may be the cause.

Moblin Major General Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've not experienced malvertising, but a lot of the ads that have been popping up for me are broken. Literally, they seem to have a loading problem, making it hard to post until I get rid of the broken ones on a page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
