[redirected while idle to a phishing website]

yeah definitely not malware, both my laptop and home pc are suffering this all of the scans i have run have come back clean.

[redirected while idle to a phishing website]

am i the only one here that finds it strange that nexus support required me to submit these reports to this forum, only for them never to be followed up on?

[Redirects and McAfee Popups that are appearing on the Nexus site.]

yep... got redirected again the other day. sad because the issue appears to be continuing if not getting worse. i already posted my thread, i just dont understand why the issue is getting worse instead of better. if these reports are supposed to be helping?

[Redirects and McAfee Popups that are appearing on the Nexus site.]

I just had my first McAfee pop-up informing me I have been to sites that have illegal content. Ironically, this is the only site I go to on this computer (gaming only) other than Steam. I just closed out the browser and reopened a new one as I have never fallen for click-bait ads. My fault really, I thought Nexus is/was trustworthy. No biggie though, now the Nexus site is added to the thumb drive transfer list from one of my other computers from this day forward.

 

Edit: Thanks @Ebony467 for adding the info. I didn't stick around on the site long enough to gather any info when it happened.

yep it just happened to me a few nights ago. might be time to consider switching ad providers if this doesnt stop.

[redirected while idle to a phishing website]

www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/ just viewing the mod listings for the game.

 

• I use AVG Free anti virus software
• unsure if it was an ad, but i got the fishing warning @ 950pm on 3/16/22. it appears it either came through one of the ads on the page, or it was an unauhorized redirect. At no time was i performing an activity that would have required a redirect.
• The URL of the page you were on at the time, e.g. http://www.nexusmods.com/games/?
• region Nebraska USA.
• When sitting on the webpage for the mod listings, when i stepped away from the computer i came back to find an avg connection attempt blocked because of URL phishing. I was AFK when it occurred.
• AVG aborted the connection however, it came from. 'DV.extremereach.com'.
• i tried to provide a screen shot for this particular issue however it says that the file size is too large. it doesnt really matter since all of the needed information is provided here anyway.

Ad department should be more vigilant about what advertisers you do business with, and what websites they are linked to. otherwise there is no point in even reporting these issues further.

[Ads playing with sound automatically]

ive begin a new thread on this topic and begun referring the offending companies in the post itself if u see any that i missed please comment with them.

[Ads violating terms of nexus mods]

the issue with sound on ads has returned and in full force as well. almost every single ad that has loaded onto a nexus page has begun playing itself at full volume and overriding the mute that is already applied to the ad space.

 

The new world of warcraft expansion is the first one of note that i can definitely confirm. however there are many many more exhibiting this same behavior. ii only use a couple browser add-ons like dark mode for opera. so i know that this is not the issue. i will update this post with more ads that are offending as i see them.

 

offending ads:

world of warcraft new expansion

project choice, i believe. video is about a kid that has a medical condition and cant have surgery.

Discount tire ad -yokohama small ad in the window with it for 20% off

 

the best way to find these ads ive noticed is that since the ad choice engine itself keeps rotating the videos each time they finish certain ones will start playing full volume. just leave a mod page open.

[Custom Automatron Disappearing]

***FALLOUT 4 PLOT SPOILER AHEAD***

if its on the bank of the river there is a chance the bot could be in the water. i would say that this is more likely the case than not. if you remember there is a glitch with x-86 where when he is on standby at a settlement that HE WILL leave to chase after vertibirds and fight the brotherhood. there are a large number of bugs currently surrounding the automatron dlc. a patch was launched yesterday i believe and most people are reporting it as a "mystery update" the most likely reason is this is a huge bug fix for automatron. believe the update was in the upper 400 meg range. there are reports of automatrons that while following will vanish into thin air. just began experiencing these bugs myself. have yet to apply the patch. ill let you know more as i know.

[Official Robco Certified Request]

this is an official request for a new edition of the robco certfied mod for fallout 4. with the robots in such an amazing stage now it would be nice to have more companions in especially robots. and there could even maybe be a mod for you to be a robot instead of a person. while i understand that the G.E.C.K. has not yet launched and will not launch until the early part of 2016. this is just a request. food for thought on different things that could be awesome mod ideas for fallout 4. the robco certified mod that existed for New Vegas was awesome. and could far exceed it if made for fallout 4.

[Fallout: The Chicago Way]

any progress on this mod?
