Ads causing redirects/Fake McAfee Ads/Large Ads (Sept 2024)

[steelfiredragon]

getting norton saying unsafe site blocked here?? I've been getting that here on nexus for the past 10 minutes....

[Orpis]

I was scrolling through a mod listing page, not even interacting, and it kept redirecting to opera and force starting the install. Literally like 4 times I had to cancel the download just trying to look at the page. Not only that but I was getting chaturbate when I'm just trying to get mods. Nexus has gone down the drain trying to get people to pay for their ad free version and it's so frustrating. Found this page and I feel like it's even worse than described previously.

It's norton..... Not the first time it has claimed Nexus to be unsafe.... Just ignore it. This is probably one of the safest gaming sites on the web.....

I use windows defender which to most people should be good enough. I instantly turn away from anything that makes me even mildly doubtful of its legitimacy because i dont have time or money to set up antivirus/ad stuff on my router but i came across a similar page to the McAfee and Opera scam sites the first guy with the screenshots showed.

This is the URL i was sent to that was the Opera scamsite: https://www.opera.com/computer/thanks?ni=eapgx&os=windows&utm_content=3154_17ab24b3-e491-4baf-981c-ad3d7ec00719&utm_source=PWNgames&utm_medium=pa&utm_campaign=PWN_US_HVR_WEB_3154&utm_id=df964330c2614b9a9713be7823a0a221&edition=std-2

I dont think it matters but this is the mod page that it sent me from, ive only been to 2 pages and both were from the Derail Valley nexus but from what it seems that doesnt matter, ill still provide a link for it just in case: https://www.nexusmods.com/derailvalley/mods/1042?tab=description

I would send the screenshot but its a literal single kb too big to send, looks identical to the Opera site he was sent to except i was lucky enough to not get a forced install, just saw the mods i wanted kept installing with no interruption.

still getting these, its really bad. cant go more than maybe 2-3 minutes before it redirects to mcafee illegal content on nexusmods.

 

p.s. as the staff above seem to be missing the point, this is not ad related. there is no ad to report. you will just be browsing content and it suddenly redirects you out of nowhere. obviously your site is infected, id start with that.

Ads forcing me onto their sites unwillingly and keeps trying to make me check I'm not a robot, but I have no idea what I'm being sent to and also giving McAfee pop ups asking if I am sure I want to go to the site as it is flagged unsafe. I was just trying to search for stuff on the Skyrim Special Edition Mods and it wouldn't stop happening. Even if I didn't touch my computer, after about five seconds it would just send me to another site. Have no idea what is causing it but worrying it is something malicious.

I just found some other people who are having the same issue with the site maybe being infected
