vinyl addict Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 For the last 2 days I've been getting a SPAM message pop up and give me a warning about a virus when I return to the site (already logged in). It doesn't want to close either. Is anyone else experiencing this? Seems this place is having some security issues. I see other threads about similar problems. Is there a way to eliminate the messages on my end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 yes. it is mad garbage. Not even the normal type of spam. This is porn site level spam. "YOUR ANDROID HAS A VIRUS HERE ARE ENDLESS POPUPS" type spam. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hasn't happened to me today, but yeah it's bad. Makes my phone vibrate continuously and it won't let me close the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshiram Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yeah it's been happening to me, I get the "YOU'VE ONE A 200$ WALMART GIFT CARDS, CLAIM YOURS NOW." Even with a 200 dollar gift card I woulnd't step foot in a Walmart. If only it was a Target gift card. But seriously, can an admin get to the bottom of this? vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_James_Champ Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I hate those ads. I never seem to get them on mobile for this site, but I have from others. They are caused by an exploit targeted in ads placed on pages, and they annoy the fuck out of me, vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Did some digging and the issue is google ads needing flash installed (which android no longer is supporting) and thats what the deal is. Its a crappy google ad which google is not supposed to allow. I submitted a request to stop them. We will see what happens. I was told there is a way to not prompt that in your browser preferences. Maybe check into that so it won't ask you to install flash. I was also told is we had spyware, malware etc it would happen on all mobile phones not just android. So the more i look into this is google ads being stupid. I will keep you posted but look into the browser preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I mean, that sounds possible, but I don't get that warning ANYWHERE else on the internet, except for VC. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 ^^^^^ Whathe said above. Also, as far as I know, Flash was never available for Android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some work around apps, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't force a pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm getting spam redirects on my iPhone. It's slightly different each time as far as what the message or spam says. It happens every so often and I've noticed it for a few weeks but it always stops right when I'm almost motivated to post about it.

dnl Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm also have this issue. I just switched to android and I got this error the first couple of times I opened the site in chrome. I have to close the browser because I can't figure out how to make the ad go away. Going back doesn't do anything. Has anyone found a fix before?
