Advertising - Reporting bad ads

[chaud]

Started getting pop-ups on the mobile version of the website on my Nexus 7. Only website that I, in recent memory, have gotten a pop-up on.

Didn't grab a screen or picture but I wrote down the url's of the offending ads. Most try to force you to upgrade the Play store or make your tablet run 60% faster etc etc etc.

ib.adnxs.com
ads.yahoo.com
lovelinks.us *this one actually tries to redirect the page

We likely need a bit more of the URLs to ban them. Hopefully that last one is gone now, supposedly blocked earlier today.

http://seth.avazutracking.net/tracki...NTEoATCI4JiYBQ..

Don't know if that's the full URL, since I see those 2 dots at the end. Anyway, that was the URL in a tab that automatically opened after a page here was fully loaded.

I had only a single tab opened, and that was MMO Champion. I was browsing the forum when a new tab had suddenly opened. It started as this:
http://go.n3xtlvl.net/web/US/stats.php

which redirects you to:
http://in.n3xtlvl.net/out/go.php

Which also redirects your to this shady fake site pretending to be some sort of adobe player download.
http://www.downloadcamp.com/adobe3_a...t_aflt=CD16044

I really don't know what ad caused it to happen. I'm hoping that the first URL should give that away?
I quickly ended that task to FireFox when the final site brought up the download box. Can never tell if those things are setup to download, even if told to cancel or exit.

Just got the same thing. Scared the shit out of me when I saw it pop up as I'm VERY careful about the security of my system. I have a Chase ad up and a Boost Mobile ad up on my screen when this happened.

The sites popped up in this order:

go.n3xtlvl.net/web/US/stats.php
in.n3xtlvl.net/out/go.php
downloadcamp.com/adobe3_adl/index2.php?aflf=CD5&mt_aflt=CD16044

You guys really need to do something about your mobile adds. They've gotten annoying lately. All I get is these "You've got a virus, download this and this..." And sometimes it even downloads some stuff without asking me... Really don't want to come to this site anymore with my phone...

[Libram]

The same thing happened to me again (as I mentioned 3 posts up.)
This time I recorded the ads that I saw on the page. The ads change so I doubt it will happen on there again.

Ad one

Ad two

Hope that might help.

Just popped up on my system again. But I didnt have MMO Champion open. I only had 3 tabs open: HearthHead, WowHead and Battlenet. I have got that pop up from time to time using WoWhead as well as WarcraftPets and MMO Champion. So I suspect it is an ad that is posing as something related to Warcraft.

New ad issue with the site. Now there is a no click ad on the main page that automatically opens up my app store on iphone to a game called Jelly Splash. I was on the site for less than 10 seconds when it suddenly took me there. No action required on the part of the user.

Using Safari. Phone updated to 7.0.6.

[NuLogic]

In the last couple of minutes I got redirected to http://343dsdq2.ex-alphavirusprotect...71fcdc3132a774

It's some fake anti-virus crap.

Couldn't find a link on my phone but had this banner ad popup:

[smokii]

been getting uninitiated audio ad's a lot recently, haven't actually paid attention to what the ad was for but i remember reading about right clicking the ad going into the flash player settings and grabbing the web address it's coming from - hopefully this helps.

seems to be coming from: bluestorage.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com

edit: was using google chrome

[ArcHammer128]

I'm having the same issues as above. Using firefox 64 bit... im getting audio adds that are unprompted and about a month ago I started getting redirects from your site to: http: in.n3xtlvl.net/out/go.php. Its just your site and I've seen it happen on a few different computers. Each time it tries to get me to download a file.... Please get a handle on this quick (or disable ads out right till you do) otherwise I'm going to to start filing reports with various antimalware companies / isp's that mmo-c is distributing virusware. Thank you.

Main page is now automatically opening my app store and trying to get me to download farm heroes saga. Please do something. This site has been terrible on phones at least since the holiday season and nothing seems to be getting any better on mobile. I like going to mmo-champion for news, but its really annoying for iphone users (apparently android too looking at previous posts).

[Xarathan]

I keep getting adds with sound(without me enabling it) in the square boxes, I specifically downloaded addblock because of mmo-champ
and on my iphone I keep getting thrown into some appstore page.

[Eon Drache]

Just got the same ad I did on 2/28/14

in.n3xtlvl.net/out/go.php

Ads were a Castlevania ad and a Elife ad

[Blueobelisk]

Chaud you really need to stop setting me up for hookers, I'm gonna get in trouble soon.

Agreed, getting spammed 4-5 times in a row for a stupid add, or being automatically redirected to the app store, it has come to a point that i'm forced to put my iphone in airplane mode to browse MMO-C, seriously, this is getting REALLY annoying.

On Android, I am getting a pop-up ad that re-pop'ups every time I click cancel. They are becoming more and more pervasive, and even if I have MMO-C up on other tabs the ads will force my back to the MMO-C ad popup.

Here is the offending link.

WARNING: THE LINK WILL REDIRECT TO A DIFFERENT PAGE WHERE IT WILL ATTEMPT TO DOWNLOAD MALWARE

Making some changes to mobile ads tomorrow. Hopefully that will address it.

Thanks, will post again if the problem ads persist.
