xPsykes Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Got redirected to download Adobe from a non-adobe siteno sooner than I turned off my adblock. Not sure how to go about reporting it.Took a screenshot as well. Only web page I had active was Nexus and told adbockto just allow nexus as well. So that problem is still happening, Great....

xPsykes Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 What kind of ad provider does these things, turns their ads into redirecting s#*! buckets. How does this get past people even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPsykes Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 So the problem is fixed? There is a saying with Programmers. "There is always one more bug." Meaning 'fixed' is a relative term. This bug is fixed. However, I guarantee there will be another one along. As for "Is it fixed?", You tell us if it's not fixed for you. It works fine for me. :cool: People are still getting the redirect to a flash update bullshit, Please fix this soon dear god please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 There are some really nasty redirect malware out there, And one trick they use to keep from being removed by antivirus is to trick you into approving the download. They do this by hiding the 'you approved this by downloading this FREE game (or whatever)' message deep in a multipage TOS or through tricks in semantics. And if you approved it then it is not a virus. However, it can be defined as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) Currently the best anti malware program I have found to get rid of this garbage is JRT (Junkware Removal Tool) it is owned by MalwareBytes, but is a FREE stand alone program.Get it here: https://www.malwarebytes.org/junkwareremovaltool/ It runs fast and takes out the garbage programs that are missed by most antivirus.It can also be run from a USB so you don't even have to install it on your computer. Try it and let us know what you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
