Malware? - Page 6

Do you have adblock? I haven't had the issue ever since I programmed it to my Wi-Fi, but as soon as I turned it off, I got redirected. Haven't turned it off since then. You can make it so it will allow safe ads so PDB doesn't lose revenue.

The site that GSDAdmin posted here is information on it.

Use Norton or other Antivirus Service to do a full system scan in safe mode not connected to the internet. The virus came into my computer when Firefox updated their site. I had the same information others posting coming in needing updates. My computer when scanned had 76 Trojan.kotuer!gm2 virus which Norton quarantined.

I removed Firefox and went through Yahoo as the Foxfire site would not open when downloaded through their site. I clicked on the uBlockorigin offered as add on by Firefox. I have not had a problem since.

Foxfire changed with the update following Google Chrome stop using Plugins.

This should work on computers do not know about phones.

I've done the scans. Just to prove my point, I ran them again. The popups are not a problem with malware on my machine....

 

And it's not just happening to me. The advertising supplier should be able to monitor and fix this -- it's not just happening to me, and it doesn't just happen once a week or once a month -- it's happened 5 times today.

Christine we can't do much about it because we can't replicate it on our end. So, if we can't get it to do it on our machines it has to be something on those members devices if not every member here would be affected. I have never been re-directed on my phone, desktop, lappy or my win10 tablet. What I am going to suggest is you either re-do your operating system or install ad-block(cringe, I suggested this). We all should be running anti-virus, adware and malware programs. What operating system do you have? Are you somewhat computer literate?

Happens to me too and I am on a Mac if that matters.

Happens to me too and I am on a Mac if that matters. Just had to back up because it happened again so signing off here!

Me too and I have a Mac as well......

Happens on an Android phone and a Win10 laptop, running Chrome as my browser. I don't have Ad-Block or No-Script running currently because it hinders some websites from working that I need for my work research. Yes, I'm somewhat computer literate -- I've installed my own hard drives and operating systems before. Not a web specialist.

Good then use this site to change your host file. http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

Well, I made a change to my host file... on my Mac. A bit nerve wracking but it seems to still be working properly. I will see if it solved the redirects. I hope so.

I found some directions on the internet. Fingers crossed!
