(answered) Has Bl introduced pop up ads?

[zephyr]

Hi guys,

Just began to have this problem when browsing bluelight now, in all forums I have looked in including support. When I click on any thread I get redirected and a new window pops up with this- http://rvzr-a.akamaihd.net/sd/dw32....t.org&ua=250&n=matomy_adk2_row&sn=&mpa=0&mp=0

Appears to be a blank page but also have had other small pop ups as well.

I browsed a bit yesterday and it didn't happen.

So is it BL or something to do with my computer?

The pop ups have not occurred in other sites ie banking, facebook, ebay etc.

My guess its a problem with my computer but ruling anything else out.


Ta guys



My computer wants to install Softplus.exe before I get to post so dont know if this will work as I cancelled it, dunno what it is.

geez all the blue underlined words are linking to help fix pc problem links. Im not intentionally doing that.

Neither problem is happening to me. I would say it's not BL, but you must have clicked on something that hijacked your browser.

might be a dumb question but have u installed adblock

Are you sure you don't have a virus?

 

[bit_pattern]

He definitely has a virus/malware. No question about it.

Start here:

https://www.malwarebytes.org/

If they don't work then your next stop is this

But for the love of god don't 'clean' your computer with HijackThis until you've posted a log here and they tell you exactly what to do

Or potentially here

We have no other reports of this issue, so the problem is somewhere on your end. Some of the advice given above are solid places to start. Best of luck to you in getting it resolved.

We've gotten in a couple more reports from various bluelighters, and it looks that this may actually be an issue with the host ISP bigpond. Just a heads up, so you know you're not going crazy.

Perhaps some contact with them if they're your primary ISP might be in order.

Hmmm, maybe not bigpond..I have also been getting them on my regular ISP (Iinet/westnet) I have been getting them while using google chrome. I have reported them to google, so no doubt they will get back to me when they have found a solution (Iwon't hold my breath waiting though)
