I keep getting kicked to a go.goadvs website (or something like that). Will this madness ever end?!

About 1 out of 3 times for me now (on mobile), I've been chosen for a great prize.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

I continue to get browser hijacks on desktop when in Incognito mode. I haven't gotten any recently when logged in properly.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I browsed for a bit on Firefox with UBlock Origins and I got no popups or annoyances. I think before with Chrome I did get problems on my phone.

Same thing with desktops, but I have more protection there.

Almost completely unusable on mobile again. Wish this would stop.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

This is some real bullshit. Is this a reputable site or one I should just abandon? Can barely look at the forums before being hijacked into free gift cards or other crap. Can't back out, have to close the tab and start over.

What browser are you using? I have the same problem with Chrome, and am wondering if a different browser might help.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

I've been tempted to try another browser, but I keep coming back to Chrome because it lets me sync up across all my devices.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

Still ridiculous, but this is a new one for me.

Edit: removed because Photobucket apparently doesn't allow 3rd party hosting of pics any longer. (Yes, it was iOS with Chrome)

Looks like that's on iOS, correct? I'll hand this over to tech.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

Just got this while sitting idle IN THIS VERY THREAD.


Trying to close the tab brought up a shady-as-fuck "do you really want to leave this page" window.

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise (yes, all security updates installed)
Browser: Chrome 59.0.3071.115

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

Fucking shit.
On mobile. Iphone & chrome.
Just got a redirect to another site. Not going to click on their bullshit, so closed Chrome and reopened it. Usually, I can click the Tabs button and close the ad before it reloads. But this one loads so fast, that it took me damn near 15 times to close Chrome, reopen, and click Tabs fast enough to stop it from taking over the browser again. Not cool.

Bullshit.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

I just got a redirect telling me my phone is infected. Quite frustrating.

Same here. I rarely try and browse the site with my phone, and this will lead me to keep it that way. Can anything be done by the admins to prevent these crazy pop-ups?

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

Got hit in main part of TV forum, not in thread. One of those Amazon gift card ones.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

Been getting hit with this "lucky winner" shit all night on the forums. (iPad IOS)

Strangely enough, I was hit first on another site (thedailybeast, I think) and I've gotten it again three or four times on the forum here. Possible cookie issue?

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

...and again when I entered forum.dvdtalk.com. The redirect is ingmatic.com, if that helps.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

These ingmatic things kept popping up everytime I clicked on a thread or opened a thread in a tab here, rendering the forum unusable.

I tried to enable "restricted sites" and added ingmatic to the list, but that didn't work. It just redirected to a blank screen that said it was disabled.

After disabling restricted sites I enabled the NeverAds app I have and that seemed to do the trick. I don't really like NeverAds because it occasionally interferes with the functionality of some webpages, but it looks like I'll need to use it for the time being.

Re: Yet another Ad issue (autoplaying audio and video)

I keep getting auto redirected to some "congrats" you've won a $1k gift card. Can hardly use the site.

On iPhone Safari.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

Opened up this thread in a tab to report that I've actually had a week or so without hijaaks, and the thread gets hijaaked. This usually signals that it'll now happen multiple times this morning, until I give up and go to another forum.
