Is Clutchfans BBS redirecting to a sponsers webpage?

LOL

If you have been online for longer than 2 minutes, you can't "know for sure" that you havent already been infected.

they are everywhere, in the most innoculous places.


Mango, this is killing me, I dont quite understand why it is I'm not seeing this. What is it about my machine that is different than others?

damn, I hate things I cant figure out.

 

True, but I know for sure I don't have spyware/adware because I only visit a handful of legit websites and clutchfans is one of them. Btw, this laptop I use is for work use only so I only access the net via work connection (which is firewalled).

 

Rockets2K,

My guess is that many of the affected went to a web site that had something for <I>Free</i> like Internet television. We also got a Tracking Cookie that laid dormant until we hit the right Ad that read the Cookie. It had some cryptic Javascript that did the redirects to Walmart, Home Depot and other ads.

It has quieted down about the redirects and I have no idea how much to attribute to <I>Clutch</I> changing something with the Ads and how much to people throwing away some bad <I>Cookies</I>.


I go to several South Asia news sites and Forums, so I have been gifted with a Cookie that gives me banner ads at Clutch Fans BBS for potential partners - wives with Indian ancestry.
Simply Marry

The same three women are in a rotating picture sequence in the Banner Ads for <I>Simply Marry</I>. They aren't bad looking at all, but I wish they would have more than the same three women to look at in the picture rotation. If you are getting those same Banner Ads, I would be shocked.


At least I don't get ads for women's clothing and makeup.

 

DUDE....don't go editing your post now.

Clutch,

I am not certain it was a complete redirect, to me it looked like a full screen banner ad.....which made it seem like a re-direct.

I am starting to get a lot more popups when visiting this site also.

And some redirects too. defnitely not a problem with this computer here as far as spyware is concerned.

 

go here, do what they say.

I also got pop-ups while browsing the forum today.
I don't know what they were because Firefox blocked them.
I am sure its not spyware - I am on Mac OS X

 

On occasion, when I clicked on some of the pages on clutchfans today, two separate windows with ads popped up.

Only happened on clutchfans and no where else. And not all the time but sometime.

 

I got pop ups and redirects today in the Hang Out. This is happening on my work computer, which is very secure.

 

I also had four popups just now while browsing the forum. Second time it's happen today.

 

Happening to me too. I read through the thread and someone mentioned it could be a rogue cookie causing the trouble. I've cleared out my cookies, so I will see if the issue continues.

 

This has been happening to me for a little while too. Maybe a few days or a week-ish.

It's only happened on this site. And for what it's worth, I've only had it happen in the Hangout.

 

Started happening for me to. Redirects me to a yellowpages type site for Littleton, CO. I've never even been there.

 

just happend to me too on my work machine (yellow pages). Figured it might be something on this computer, cause well.....they don't keep it in good condition.

Also, I just got a pop up saying I'm invited from Opinion Central.

 

Since I've cleared out my cookies, it hasn't happened to me again.
