3x while reading this thread:


http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...resources-into

Now I'm getting the same redirect with any action on this site.

My guess is that redirect is some malware on your end. No other users have reported it.

[Purpleurza]

Ipad "pop ups" direct into App Store, multiple pages, appear to be related to lower right square ads (next to featured sites). Transport Empire is one of the redirects, others fail to open.

Please fuck off with that.

Right, I got rid of the malware, then visited this site again and BOOM. Guess what came straight back. Get your bloody site in order.

I recently reinstalled Firefox, and just today realized I had yet to install Adblock. Before I did, however, I noticed some offending ads.

This is a video ad for NFL Mobile by Verizon. It starts playing, with audio, as soon as it finishes loading into the page. If I leave the page open for long enough, it will start over (it did so twice while typing this post).

I am using Firefox 32.0.3. These two URLs were listed as Embeds under Page Info/Media:

After posting this reply, a different video (for something from K-Mart) appeared at the bottom this thread, and began to auto-play:

On my phone the google play store keeps popping up, trying to het me to install farmville 2, zynga poker and there are probably others.

[Tharkkun]

Windows 7 64-bit. Chrome Version 38.0.2125.111 m (64-bit). I experienced it at work but at home now. No extensions at all.
Happens on Firefox version 31 also. Just updated to 33.02 and same thing. Here's a screenshot.

My mouse is on the word "Random" in the first post about Just won a Random Isle. The only place this isn't appearing is if you scroll all the way to the bottom where the gray bar has the Back to Top button. Underneath that bar is safe. http://imgur.com/gU3YoA1

This behavior occurs on any page right now on blue.mmo-champion.com or if you click from the main news page to a blue thread.

While checking my facebook with my phone, saw the newsfeed from mmo-champ about day of the dead changes and decided to check it. Facebook app now opens sites directly into it (instead of using the default browser).

Guess what? It also let open any popups, redirects, etc. so as soon as I could see the mmo-champion page, it redirected to a fake google play page to install some kind of antivirus. Had to close it a few times (like it tried to scam me 3 or 4 times before going back to mmo-champ page). Since this feature from the new version of the FB app doesn't let you see anything other than the page (no url bar, etc.), can't say from where it is.

Keep getting Directed to http://www.javaupgrades.com/ and http://www.browserdownloadnow.com/ on this site only. Used McAfee to scan and Ad-Aware still happening. Cleared all data. This is using Chrome.

So many autoplay adverts in the bottom right its not even funny, some I can't even click to turn them off and some I HAVE to click to get them to shut up because my mouse disappears as I hover over them, this is one of the few sites I dont adblock, but very soon I shall do.

http://uk.strongbow.com/ that was just one of 4 that started a minute ago, the other was an aviva advert or some price comparison.

Edited: This one popped up in this thread as 5 minutes after I posted http://www2.mercedes-benz.co.uk/cont..._WEB1411014001

I seem to have been getting a lot of autoplay adverts with sound recently. I will try and remember to get the url next time or is this something wrong from my end?

No it started for me a few weeks ago, mainly in the bottom right.

[apepi]

A new autoplay add for dragon age. Did not catch the url.

[Argarock]

Had un-initiated sound adds every time I've visited this site the last 3 days
Will update this post once I remember to check the URL

ok, without uppdating this page, it started playing. it's a video on the black curse bar at the bottom of the page.
right clicking it just opens the flashplayer options

clicking the video gives me this:

On my iphone I got redirected to a porn website this morning. I wont post a link, but it was very annoying! I was on the train on peak hours and people looked at me funny

I will no longer browse this site while on my way to work... so please fix this.

I keep being redirected to App Store downloads on my iPhone. Nearly every page I load. I'm going to stop viewing this site from my phone because of it. Same for wowhead, ugh.

A screenshot of ad and/or which app you're directed too would be helpful.
