eFestivals Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Thanks for letting me know, and my apologies for not having seen these posts till now. In the time since your posts I've been informed that an issue like this was found and shut down, so hopefully that's the end of the issue for now. But these keep cropping up, so please do let me know if it happens so they can be found and removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Still happening @eFestivals URL is bjpbiqr.top and derivatives of that. Chrome on a Samsung Galaxy S7, Android 6.0.1.

Hiya Neil, seems to be happening again but a lot less frequently than before. The sites are all similar to http://offers.priminate.com/ . Thank you!

the wonderwhy Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hey @eFestivals didnt want to start a new thread but am currently occasionally getting these (hopefully pics upload) when trying to access the forums on mobile. Happening on both wifi (BT) and 4G (Tesco). I'm using Safari on an iPhone 5C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 thanks. I've just raised this with ad-house, again. Unfortunately, they can only get shut till they come back via a different route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 damn. Not had a report of these for a while. I'll get it jumped on today, thanks for letting me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have been really prominent over that period. Looking at the last post about this, it has indeed been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarerThanDandyB Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Had one on the mac and don't know what to do could you advise? Today around 9PM. Don't get why. Also had one on my phone and easily deleted that through the browser. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's purely one advert carrying a hidden link to open another advert. I can get the guilty ads tracked down and blocked, but to do that I need the time it happened, the IP address being used at the time, and also your device type and browser type - but without specific info it's exceeding hard to stop.

Please go to Settings > Apps > Chrome > Storage > Clear Cache. hopefully that'll sort the problems you've experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to go through a whole day without getting any and then I'll go for about an hour getting one on every thread I click on.... Maybe its just an android thing?

Hawky Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Hello, Cleared cache. Deleted and reinstalled the app. Cleared browser cache (and also any temporary internet files/ history) And im still getting these. Seems to be a pain between 3pm and 1930, anywhere outside this it's fine. (Its not constant between those times either, it's normally in 20-30min stints where i physically can't use the app and need to come back) Im on Android, S7 edge+. Impacting both App and through Chrome. Edited January 11, 2018 by Hawky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawky Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) NOBODY IS SAFE. IT'S PAST 19:30 AND I GOT GOT. HIDE YOU KIDS, HIDE YOUR WIFE. Edited January 11, 2018 by Hawky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
