Fred- Clicking on thread links opening web pages in background...

[Behrmon]

Happening to me on IPhone.

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

Just happened on my android phone clicking on this thread.

Security scans have been run on our server as well as our databases. No infected file or malware has been detected as of now. We are still looking.

If anyone is on a computer when it happens, please do the following:

1. Dont close the page your on or the ad
2. Right click the page background
3. Select "view page source" (should open in a new window)
4. Select all w/ ctrl+a on the view source page
5. Copy it to a notepad text file
6. Email it to Fred


As i can't get it to pop an ad for me & clicking on 100 pages, need some help, will try to track it via the page source code.

Thanks

AnthonyG, our tech guy has been unable to get this to happen for him. Neither is it happening for me. So it would be appreciated if it happens to you and you are on a PC, please do the following:

Right click an area on the forum page that it popped up from & select view source, copy that source code to a page in Notepad and send it to me in a txt file, thats what we've been waiting for to try & track down how its being done on the site. Send attached to an email to signs101@signs101.com. DO NOT POST IT IN THIS FORUM.

Just happened to me too using Firefox. Switched over to the new Brave browser I've been trying out and running so nice and clean!

I can confirm, happens on my android device also. Did not happen on PC & google chrome yet.

 

[Fred Weiss]

We've made some updates to software and some other stuff. Still got a few updates to do. Please report any new instances of this happening and give us a view source txt file if possible. We also has about a dozen phony registrations received earlier today which is about as many as we see in a year. All have been deleted.

It goes without saying but I will anyway: Don't click on anything in any random website tab or window that might appear.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Unable to upload pics to posts Fred... not sure if it's related or not.

 

[Fred Weiss]

A setting was wrong after the upgrade. Please try again.

My bet is on one of the banner ads. This might also explain the randomness of it.

Fred.... Your site just got weirder... Does any one else have floating open mail icons that fly around the screen starting from the top left?

Yep. Firefox browser. Picture below Fred:

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

I confirmed on Android phone and Windows 10 with Chrome, Edge, and IE11

Also don't click them, my security suite went ballistic warning of a Trojan download that was stopped.

Wow... haven't gotten those yet.. pre Windows 10..

Another advantage of having Adblock Plus installed.

It is strange, I haven't seen anything yet. I am on Windows 10 and using Chrome.

 

[AnthonyG]

Yep. Firefox browser. Picture below Fred:

I cant produce that using FF (latest) & Win 7

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

Just got to my office and the Office PC is doing it
