Google Targeting Unwanted Redirects In Chrome 

Well that's good news. We're still working on tracking down the culprit here. Thanks for the patience.

I have not had any redirect issues with my iPhone. It seems to only be a chrome issue.

Still happening, tried to read the tire size article and got a redirect as soon as I try to scroll down.

At least it's not locking up my browser, so that I can close the page. I am using my Android phone and Chrome, along with Norton Antivirus. No viruses have been detected.

Im glad I'm not the only one with this problem, I posted about it a while ago, but it kept happening even after nuking my phone and reinstalling stuff. I was going crazy. Also, I've been redirected twice today, once to the Wal-Mart gift card one, and once to the "Your Android has a virus" one

I'm getting the redirects still, and now there's a trivago ad on the bottom of the page that hijacks the cursor and scrolls all the way down to it on mobile. 

 

Sorry guys, but I'm going adblock.

So ECM says she hasn't seen the redirect since downloading malwarebytes. Anyone else still seeing the redirect?

I got two a day or so ago. Was in a hurry and couldn't find the thread to add the links too.

Just a heads up that there is a Ford video ad at the bottom of the forum pages that is making the forum unusable on an android device.

It autoscrolls to the bottom of the page on my tablet and phone and if you scroll back up it immediately pulls it back down

I haven't been visiting from my phone lately. On the occasion I do, I use Addblock's browser. It's slow and clunky and usually more trouble than it's worth. 

 

For S&Gs I just tried it with Chrome. No redirects in the 30 seconds I was on, but also no Your Posts jump button. That's the first place I go when I stop in here...

Not sure if it came from an ad on here or from Yahoo Mail, since I had both open in IE browser windows, but I got the “your computer has been infected with pornographic spyware” redirect today, and I had to kill my network connection to keep it from being reopened every time I killed the process.  Hate to say it, but I’m not whitelisting this site on the computer’s ad blocker.
