Advertising - Reporting bad ads

[Deleted]

I also just got redirected to the Flash Update page: Downloads.giochimobi .com

[Jonaontas]

i am getting redirected to the same giochimobi download for flash player. I have installed adblock for now. I dont mind flashy ads as it supports the site, i do however mind redirects that attempt to download software. This is the only site its happening to me on. If you manage to stop the redirects i will happily turn adblock off again

click on ad leads to:

Screenshot of ad 2.

click on ad leads to:
suzuki-swift.de/?cc=pf8

I think the ad code from the webpage is:

script language="javascript">
<!--
if (window.adgroupid == undefined) {
window.adgroupid = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000);
}
document.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript1.1"

src=" adserver.adtechus.com/addyn/3.0/5259.1/2799169/0/170/ADTECH;loc=100;target=_blank;key=group=project+page=details+game=wildstar

+project_name=Grid+lang=en;grp='+window.adgroupid+';misc='+new Date().getTime()+'"></scri'+'pt>');
//-->
/script>


PS: I removed h t t p from the post, cause I am not allowed to posts URLs.

[Haileaus]

Add for quitting smoking:

URL from properties menue: vids. adgorithmsltd. netdna-cdn. com (Need to erase the spaces, I can't post url because I haven't posted enough)
Screenshot: i. imgur. com /flqmXnm. png (Need to erase the spaces, I can't post url because I haven't posted enough)
I'm using Google Chrome Version 35.0.1916.153 m (Says it is up to date)

This is objectionable because (a) it has audio and (b) the audio starts late.

There are quite a few auto playing ads now with sound, too many of them to post here. I get at least 2 to 3 of them everytime I visit this site nowadays.

Edit: ironically just got one of these while visiting this thread, some frizzy hair commercial

Unfortunately due to there being so many different ads and there being a variance in ads in different regions, it's really hard for us to find those bad ads without the information asked from in the OP

Unfortunatelly those are all flash ads so you can't just copy and paste their URLs. We can, at most, take screenshots

You can inspect them with browser tools / view the page source.

Seems like the first video ad is played without muting the audio (subsequent ads require mousing over the ad for sound). Maybe the problem happens when it's loaded off screen as it's usually the bottom square ad that I experience this with. When I caught it and took this screenshot, however, it was the top one as I was looking at content further down the page when the audio kicked in. Anyway, it's always these jwplayer based ads.

Reporting an ad appearing for UNIBET.
This is a gambling site. The ad is also stealing the entire frame 2-5 seconds after loading, which makes it twice as bad since it forces the user to browse back to find the MMOchamp page.

URL to the ad (after about 250 redirection requests):

http://banners.unibet.com/media/bann...4459&bid=14339

I'm not QUITE sure where this comes from (the redirection callstack is pretty huge) but I believe the callchain order of severs feeding this is:

http://ww2.hstpnetwork.com/transport...cmVjdDg4Mi8%3D
http://hstpnetwork.com/redirect882/?...lxujukAg%3D%3D
http://adserver.bigboxnet.com/r/id,D...BfVolxujukAg==
http://bcp.crwdcntrl.net/5/ct=y/c=36...Traffic/rt=ifr
http://tap2-cdn.rubiconproject.com/p...2&geo=eu&co=no
http://aktrack.pubmatic.com/AdServer...23post28209623

... and I'm not quite sure where it comes from below that. I would like to add that if every pageview needs to go through 250 layers of redirection, then that is why loading a page of mmochamp takes 15 seconds. Which is horrible, and might just push more people into running adblock.

Ad on the frontpage that pushes everything except the topbar down, but there's nothing actually visible:

in the very bottom right of the page next to the featured sites there is a small square ad that usually has a video playing. Occasionally at random the sound will just turn on for these ads. I have had everything from kmart ads to car insurance, soap commercials and even a hearthstone one today. After a few ads play it is usually followed by some jwplayer (happened again got the name right) the last time this happened I got a SS of all the ads though.

not sure how to get the source as chaud suggested above this was the best I could do

I have seen the third one there, but no auto playing audio. Any idea which one triggered the audio?

Sidenote; does anyone know if you can get chrome extensions for the mobile version, mine doesn't seem to have any options for my OS. I just want adblock since it makes stuff load faster and obviously is safer, especially for a phone.

Just quoting myself from a while ago, as I've finally found the way (somehow it took me this long). You can use Adblock for Android (site for DL here), install it on your phone like normal - you may need to turn on allow install from unknown sources as it isn't the play store - and if you're using Chrome make sure to turn "Reduce Data usage" off in bandwidth management. Boom, no adds. Firefox can just use the AddOns though unlike Chrome so no need for that.

P.S. I know Mmo-c needs adds to survive, but for mobiles it's just too annoying to have popups like my previous post above.

While randomly browsing forums with noscript and ghostery on:

[Noctus78]

had the mainpage of mmo-c open and walked away from my pc.

Minute later it had forwarded me to the site http://www.winbinaireopties.com/276966 (that had movies that started playing automatically so i was quite fast alarmed)

URLs or any additional information is generally helpful, as tracking ads down by screenshots only is difficult.
