Draino76 Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 Each thread I look at takes about 30 seconds to load, as opposed to other websites that load instantly as I have about a 15 meg broadband connection. I keep seeing notifications like 'transferring data from adclick.com or heavy hearted.com', which I assume is not good. WTF is that all about?

Bearsy Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 pay ur £5 draino + all these inconveniences disappear. I'm serious, ur getting lagged by slow loading ad servers.

NI Saint Posted 22 March, 2014 Share Posted 22 March, 2014 I was having this problem on my android tablet so installed Ad Blocker Plus and that seems to have done the trick for now. BTW you can't get it through Google Play so have to change your security settings to download it directly from the Ad Blocker Plus website. Hopefully it keeps working as I was getting fed up with the redirects and being told I had won an iPad Air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Chalet Posted 23 March, 2014 Share Posted 23 March, 2014 I suspect it is more likely a google ads issue than specific to Saintsweb. I am sure Steve will have a much better understanding of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 27 March, 2014 Share Posted 27 March, 2014 Still getting them every couple of mins and only on this site. PITA. Did you use adblocker? On a samsung tab BTW. Cheers Can you take a screenshot of a page with a popup showing? Our ads are set up to only display "inline" ads, i.e. no popups or overlays. However, it's possible that a stray one could slip through the system if the agency that created the advert set it up incorrectly (i.e. said it was an inline ad when it was an overlay, etc). If we can get the URL of the advert then we should be able to shut it off at source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 31 March, 2014 Share Posted 31 March, 2014 This redirection to the apps store has begun happening on my work phone (iPhone 5.)

stevegrant Posted 31 March, 2014 Share Posted 31 March, 2014 I re-emphasise... there is very little I can do unless you can provide me with either a screenshot of the offending advert or the HTML output of the page ("View Source" on most browsers), along with the specifics regarding your setup, i.e. browser and operating system. The advertising displayed comes from a variety of sources, and the only way we can determine whether it is something our advertisers are doing is with that information.

Colinjb Posted 9 April, 2014 Share Posted 9 April, 2014 It's happened again, a screenshot was taken of the app store item I was diverted to, will try to upload later.

Bearsy Posted 9 April, 2014 Share Posted 9 April, 2014 hi baj, i have reviewed colins posts and he is using an iPhones 5. He mentions this fact in post #31. It also does it on my iphones, you get binned off to app store and it tries to make you buy a game, usually one about RPG with dwarves etc. It's not just saintsweb tho this happens on a few sites i use such as pornhub + milfweb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 10 May, 2014 Share Posted 10 May, 2014 Having problems here as well, both on home machine and work machine: Have Norton 360 on home machine and it is reporting as follows: Alert Summary: High Web Attack: Fake Flash Update Download Intrusion attempt by: update.newsflashplaer.us was blocked Attacking PC: 173.230.147.191,80 Source Address: 73.230.147.191 Have had this a couple of time - but only when on Saints Web - and as a result Norton closes the site on my PC. I have also had the same on my work PC which is protected by AVG Professional. I don't have the full details, but it was the same 'Flash update download' type message - again I was booted from the site. This has only started happening to me over the last 10 days - and as I said above, it doesn't happen on any other site other than Saints Web.

martyg1950 Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 I'm on Ubuntu and using Firefox 29. Today out of the blue while doing a page change mid thread the site served up a blank page with a box in the middle saying my flash needed an update - click here to update. Page source shared in my dropbox - ive run it and it looks the same as I saw. It's a scabby scam page https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxgwmwm2p1fy0y3/flash%20exploit%20seen%20on%20Saints%20web.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Marty, Looks like this was delivered separate from SaintsWeb? The source code you've provided looks like it was a separate page and not one on saintsweb? What was the url that it was loading from? None of our ad tags are pre-load so it's impossible for an ad to trigger like that. Are you sure you're not infected with something else? Regardless, I'm going to have it looked into, but it seems highly unlikely that it came through our ad tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Hmm, both related to links being rewritten perhaps? Im going to have one of the advertising sources (the one in saints_ash post) blocked and see if that solves things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyg1950 Posted 15 May, 2014 Share Posted 15 May, 2014 Baj, sorry distracted for a couple of days, it happened using FF29 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS 64bit and I was simply moving from page 1 to page 2 of some thread using the site links at the time. Instead of serving up page 2 it served that. Beyond that it's all lost in the mists of time I'm afraid. Oh and it's not happened since.
