Virus pop ups

[Jordan.]

I keep getting these on my phone whilst viewing the forum and it's making it almost impossible to load a page

What is going on? (wait)

Someone mentioned this to us last night and it seems it's only been iPhone users that are experiencing it so far....unless others are too now?

[Jordan.]

The admin can pay for my upgrade if my phone dies

I'm on android

[Smithy]

stay off the dodgy sites then :nono:

[Josy]

Ok after checking, it was a different thing last night but this could be caused by an ad, I'll get James to check this out.

[Jordan.]

stay off the dodgy sites then :nono:

It's only happening on here so it's not my phone :worry:

[Natalie.]

Oh I had this earlier

[Black Dagger]

I had this all day on my Kindle and I've done a restore on it because and lost all my bookmarks on my browsers :(

[James]

I'll take the ads off to test if it is them that is causing it.

[James]

Okay, I've taken the ads off. If you restart your browser have the pop-ups stopped?

[Jordan.]

Yeah it's working fine now

[Iceman]

I'll take the ads off to test if it is them that is causing it.

Still waiting on my iPhone prize.

[James]

I'll put back on one type of the adverts, to see which one is causing the pop-up. That way I know who to complain to about them.

[James]

Okay, I've added back one type of advert. Can someone with a smart-phone restart their browser, and try a few pages on the forum, and post here if the pop-ups have come back, or are they still away?

[Jordan.]

They were coming up every time I loaded a page before and I haven't had any since so it seems to be fixed, thanks.

[Shaun]

I got a few of these earlier today too (android user) but it's been fine in the two or three tabs I've clicked just now

[Smithy]

I've got bloody adverts on my phone now :fist:

[Ashley.]

Someone mentioned this to us last night and it seems it's only been iPhone users that are experiencing it so far....unless others are too now?

I'm getting weird ads on my computer.

[Iceman]

Now I have pop up ads everytime I click a different page.

[James]

Can you put up a screen shot of these?

[Smithy]

[Daniel.]

I'm getting it now too (fear)

Yeah exact same as mine.

[Smithy]

****s sakes Jordan why couldn't you have just dealt with it rather than dragging everyone down with you :fist::fist::fist:

[Jordan.]

It's still fine for me now so we should just leave it as it is :hehe:

[Niamh.]

Someone mentioned this to us last night and it seems it's only been iPhone users that are experiencing it so far....unless others are too now?

I have an iPhone and it's not happened to me so far :think:

[Jordan.]

Atleast that ad is only at the bottom of the page the one I was getting took over the full screen and redirected you to a dodgy website

[Josy]

I have an iPhone and it's not happened to me so far :think:

It doesn't happen on tapatalk though isn't that what you use?

Ashley ads on your computer isn't connected to this at all, this is phone users that are experiencing these issues.

[Niamh.]

Oh right, why don't people use tapatalk then, so much easier on a phone

[James]

Ah, those are normal (when you use a mobile) for the type of ads I put back on. They must be set to appear. I didn't realise that. I can turn those off. I had them off before because I thought they looked annoying.

Those are different to the malicious pop-up boxes that were appearing before.

[Iceman]

They're really irritating.

[Smithy]

Oh right, why don't people use tapatalk then, so much easier on a phone

Because you have to buy it :fist:

[Jessica.]

I didn't buy tapatalk and I'm using it right now. :umm2:

[Smithy]

NOT on TIBB

But everyone watch out for This Malware

by cyber crooks in Eastern Europe to harvest online banking details,
which are then used to steal cash from individuals and businesses around the world.]

Fortunately haven't got these yet.

Sometimes they are helpful. Any day now I should be reaping a huge profit from a new Nigerian friend I made who has been having problems with his local bank.

Android too

samsung galaxy

[Smithy]

The ads have stopped now btw

[RichardG]

I'm getting this on tibb on samsung tablet too

http://i.imgur.com/byqF8DN.jpg

Kept popping up a couple of days ago then it stopped but now it just reappeared again a couple of mins ago :sad:

[Ross.]

Every time the ads stop for iPhone users they start back up again for Androids. :joker:

[Kate!]

Its seriously getting annoying

[Marsh.]

It's started happening to me but on my laptop.

I have adblock but for some reason, for the first time in years, this site is generating a couple of pop ups that are bypassing it when I open a new page. :think:

[Jøsh]

I had random symbols a few days ago, it's fixed now.

It was like 'ø{șhkůłě^|4' but longer.

[AnnieK]

I've just had one now...on android

[Mystic Mock]

There is one Ad that keeps popping up on my page, I thought that it was just me having the problem so I didn't say anything.

[James]

There is one Ad that keeps popping up on my page, I thought that it was just me having the problem so I didn't say anything.

On a computer or a smartphone?

[Mystic Mock]

On a computer or a smartphone?

Computer, why?

[James]

I was just wondering because people have been reporting these popups as only happening on smartphone, at the moment.

[Niamh.]

Tibb is working for me on my phone but not in my computer, weird. Everything else is working fine :/

[James]

How is it not working?

[Niamh.]

Just keeps trying to load but never does, I changed browser too and that didn't work

[Niamh.]

I've logged in now (but I'm posting from my phone still) it took about 20 mins and now I'm waiting for the new posts screen to load and that's taking forever too

[James]

Are these pictures working, when you click the links, on your computer?

http://s-cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/thisisbigbrother-logo-sm-2-test.png

[Niamh.]

Still waiting for the new threads to load :/

[Niamh.]

The first link worked (after a while) the second didn't. This is what my screen looks like now

http://i.imgur.com/X7ulE3G.jpg

[James]

That's caused because your Internet connection is not getting through well to the servers where images and other files are hosted.

I you can restart your router or cable box you could try that. Or reboot your computer could help.

[Niamh.]

How come it's only affecting TiBB though? :think:

[Marsh.]

XP? :omgno: Love yourself Niamh.

[Ross.]

[Marsh.]

Niamh's not helping the age jokes. :worry:

[arista]

AVG is doing a Free Update today

[Niamh.]

XP? :omgno: Love yourself Niamh.


It's my work computer, I don't buy the software :p

[King Gizzard]

Do they still do security/general updates for the XP? :suspect:

[Niamh.]

No I don't think so Nathan, some of our computers have been upgraded but mine still hasn't, i'm sure it will eventually :laugh:

[Niamh.]

oh and TiBB is working again yay

connected to Criminals using pop ups you click
they Nick you credit card number or online banking


One person had 5K stolen
Barclays did not cover her. (ref :Radio 5 yesterday)

Maybe she should have
Paid Security online
then they would pay up
for her Computer loss


If you use you bank online
and do not have Paid Security
your days are numbered
before the criminal hacks malware gets your data

[LukeB]

This is happening to me on my iphone, i can't look on the forum without taking off javascript because game of wars ads keep popping up.

[Brother Leon]

**** off Game Of War.

[LukeB]

**** off Game Of War.

Is this happening to you too?

[James]

I'll take the ads off the forum for a bit.

[James]

So what was happening? Were the pages redirecting to 'Game of War' adverts on iphones and iPads? But not any other kind of tablet or phone?

[kirklancaster]

Sometimes they are helpful. Any day now I should be reaping a huge profit from a new Nigerian friend I made who has been having problems with his local bank.

:laugh: And to think I took no notice of him when he approached me.

[AnnieK]

I get redirected to ads for I phones on my android phone. Can't access forum on my phone any more as it drives me mad

[LukeB]

I don't know about other phones but everytime i came on here on my iphone game of wars popped up and when you click close/X it takes you to an app store.. When you go back on tibb it reappeared over and over again. It didn't come up when javascript was turned off, it's fine now since you took the ads off.

[James]

I get redirected to ads for I phones on my android phone. Can't access forum on my phone any more as it drives me mad

And it has stopped now?

[AnnieK]

And it has stopped now?

Seems to have. Am on my phone now and clicked on a few threads and seems to be fine

Thanks

[LukeB]

Yeah, thank you James for sorting it out :)

[James]

I've put the ads back on. Let me know if any redirects or pop-ups happen.
