Title: Forum Ad-redirects on reply button since Jan 31st 2017?
Post by: Hawk on January 31, 2017, 06:15:33 PM
@Piboso: When I click to reply on the forum I'm starting to get re-direct links to crappy website adverts? Any idea what's happening here?

I thought it maybe a left-over malware on my computer somewhere but I've done a full scan and yet this is still happening, so I can only presume it's a forum server issue?  :(

This was the last website the reply button sent me to: NSFW link

It just happened using Chrome! Darn!  :'(

Hmm.... very strange. I'll have to keep my eye on this.... BTW: It doesn't happen every time.

I'll report again if it continues for me.... as I say, I've done a malware scan so I can't imagine it's a leftover on my system causing it, but stranger things happen, right. Lol

Yup, I can confirm it's restricted to Chrome (Firefox no issue)

Luckily Malwarebytes flags the link before it re-directs.

Actually mine was happening on the IE browser.  :P ;D

@Piboso..... Thanks Piboso. Seems to be okay for now.... I've not had another occurrence as yet, but will post here if I do.  ;)

What did you scan with? Both malwarebytes pro and hitman pro didn't pick anything up but ADWcleaner (by malwarebytes) picked up 20 ish things (most related to this thing)

Are you sure you haven't been infected by the forum?
Apologies if it happened, but it would be a relief to know that there are no more problems on the forum itself, since it was updated to version 2.0.13
No more problems here.

I scanned my system with ADWCleaner(by malwarebytes) and my system was totally clean......

However, I just clicked the "Quote" button here to reply to your post Matty and was re-directed to this link: http://www.simple2date.com/Q/US/UK1.htm (http://www.simple2date.com/Q/US/UK1.htm) so the arsole is still here. We'll hand draw and quarter the b*stard when we find him!   >:(

Go get him Pib!  ;)

Edit: Just did another scan straight away now and my sytem is still clean, so I guess it must be rooted in the forum server somewhere.

Try:
Restart in Safe Mode and run full malwarebytes scan ensuring it is updated first and set to report all Pups and PuMs as malware.
Check browser add ons delete anything not Google  :)
