Are you having problems browsing the forums?

depp · 05-24-2009, 11:21 PM

I'm getting reports from a user that they are being redirected to the below URL:
http://www.0di.net/?9xWsB3 (warning: redirects to a possibly malicious site)

Is anyone else having this problem? I've checked out our advertisers and can't find it in the database of ads. I'm wondering how many people are seeing this at the moment.

If you are viewing these ads please let me know if they start out in the standard ad frame (with our logo in the upper left corner) and what operating system you are using. The more info I have the easier it will be easy to stomp these out.

All I can say is this.

Grr... I had to make a forum for a school assignment and ended up having to waste my time researching about redirecting.

I don't know if it'll help in this case but...

Edit: It could be that.

I just wanted to add that I am soooo happy I don't get any ads. (Never. Ever. While my friends get heaps. Ahahaha. Umm yes, off topicness. xD)

Yea, I saw that in my Google quest. Thing is I'm not using the GeoBytes service. It could be one of our advertisers is running GeoBytes.

Nope not having any issues with ads here. Is it throwing up a full page ad or is it just plain old raking you away from gD?

Thats why know i just go straight to the forum via http://www.getdare.com/forum that way i dont get the website poping up. My os system is standard windows xp.

This is not about if you get ads. This is about users getting a specific ad.

My real question is do you see something at the top of your screen like the attached image before this ad takes over your screen and redirects you.

I know getDare has ads (for some people depending on their geographical location) but this is about this particular URL coming up. I'm very interested in hearing exactly what happened if you were redirected to that URL.
