Ive been getting some kind of rogue popup ads when browsing LYN only, no matter how i try to reset Chrome, reset ad ID, the popup will still randomly appear , only on LYN forums, no matter on WiFi or on data network, here is the post I made in the s7 edge thread thinking I am the only one experiencing the issue



Turns out its not only me, some others had the same exact issue as well. So its definitely not from my side..

Hopefully can find the culprit causing this malicious ads to popup

I also got this, my mum also on her tablet, Galaxy Tab S2. So freaking annoying.

This is incredibly annoying as it happens only on this forum
I've tried everything, clearing chrome app data and cache, resetting advertisement ID, clearing google app data and cache, clearing browsing history, running anti virus apps and none remove this stupid popup. Someone from lowyat forum please fix this!

iPhone 6s here. no popup

had seen same ads last year using z ultra

also worth noting, when I'm on WiFi the popup appears nearly everytime i visit lowyat forum. But when switch to data there's no popup, as soon as I switch to wifi the popup is back

It happened to me just now on chrome. On chrome, I cannot even load this thread, it's redirecting me to some URL. Posting this using Firefox.

Try switching to mobile data and report back.
I suspect something is wrong with the ads in this forum, hope the mods can reply here ASAP.

For me it happens in mobile data as well

use samsung browser with adblock plus or if u use other android phone.. use browser with adblocking function..

Having the same issue here as well..using a galaxy s6 here..though was my phone that got infected or something..almost on the edge of resetting the phone..it happen both on wifi and mobile data..below are the screenshot of the history of my chrome browser when the pop up happen..sometimes chrome will manage to block it but most of the time not..



one weird thing I notice is that it will only happen on the mobile version of the forum and not the desktop version eventhough it is access through the phone browser..and it has been happening for the past few days..

for me mobile data is safe, only happens when I'm using wifi. Can the forum mod/admin please look into this?

Chrome is the best when it comes to performance on android devices. And most adblock requires root, those that doesn't require root are VPN adblock and it will affect the internet speed. It's obvious that something is wrong with this website

right now.. im using samsung browser with adblock plus.. working fine so far...

It seems many people has been affected, hopefully more users will report here and get the forum mods/admins attention.
It's becoming a very frustrating experience visiting forum lowyat these days.

never mind. i don't have this issue..

Its redirecting me to englearnsh.com..

Same here.

i use chrome on mobile, never had any popups.

cant help but find that part funny "because of four harmful viruses from recent adult sites."

but anyway, have u tried removing cookies?

Yup, even cleared data and start chrome fresh as if it was just installed

You'll eventually stumble upon this on other sites that run the Google Adsense network.

Google can't get their shit together in keeping out malware from their ad network. The problem is pretty easy to reproduce, but hard to troubleshoot as the ad loading code is convoluted.

Unfortunately running lowyat.net without Adsense is not really an option either...
