Full page ad?

[David]

Why did you delete your thread, Brandon?

 

WHAT DID IT SAY?!

[jersey cubs fan]

did he say something about a weird full page ad that this website automatically clicks over to? It looks like a cheesy magazine cover or something, with Ellen on the front.

[Banedon]

Sorry, I deleted it cuz I thought maybe it was a virus/adware on my machine.

 

Anyone else getting redirects to lemode-mgz sometimes here? It doesn't seem to be happening for me on any other site but NSBB.

Yep, looks like it can be a virus/adware that redirects to it, but I've also read that it can be a malicious google ad. I suspect that's the case here.

Here's a thread about the same issue...

Got a response from adsense:

Good thing I use an adblocker (sorry Tim - I'll pay for premium if you bring it back as long as i can have a giant avatar that people can't block)

[Banedon]

Unfortunately I can't install an ad blocker on my work comp.

For now, my workaround is to force stop the page from fully loading. Seems to stop the redirect if I stop it at the right time.

I was getting the ad on my phone for a few hours last Saturday but it stopped the next day.

Yeah, it quit popping up at some point yesterday.

Your employer blocks Chrome Extensions?

[Sammy Sofa]

A lot of employers just block Chrome, period.

[Guest]

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about crap like that and can waste hours on end on NSBB and Twitter

[Sammy Sofa]

Firefox always worked fine with NSBB at my old job (obviously); Twitter can go eat a bag of farts.

(Un)fortunately, I haven't seen the ad. So I don't know how to go about blocking it on Adsense.

Yes. It's a large company and the software on systems is monitored and regulated quite heavily. Fortunately, the internet monitoring that used to be quite rigorous has largely been opened up.

That's fair...I think google must've caught it on their own cuz it hasn't come back.

It came and went prior to this most recent time.

Wow, sorry to hear that.

[jersey cubs fan]

it did it again today, although this time it is ostensibly a forbes ad with a picture of warren buffett

[Banedon]

Huh, I haven't had it happen today.

[Guest]

Huh, I haven't had it happen today.

I got one that acted like malware and asked me to download something today. Something I'll have to research over the weekend.
