Ads forwarding to malicious sites

Getting the "Google 4 viruses" web page. This is getting very frequent when using the site on my Android phone. Not happening on my MAC desktop. Assume it is a javascript problem with your ad service.

Ads forwarding to malicious sites

This is not just a ThirdGen.org issue or with our own ad services as you stated. It is an issue that occurs in the advertising overall. This article below shows just how severe the issue is where Google has to pull ads out of the pool for different types of bad ads in the network:

https://blog.google/topics/ads/how-w...scammers-2016/

That is basically what the issue is here. When we find such an ad, we're able to pull it (block it) but the problem is, which you can conclude from above article, the issue can return from a new source.

Since you're using Android and likely Chrome from Google, Chrome provides a beta option built-in the browser that supposedly works to prevent the aforementioned bad ads from doing what you describe.

Enter the following URL in the address bar:
chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

Then enable the highlighted option.

The problem is so bad I can't even use this site anymore on my phone. Got sick of it and installed Chrome Beta and it has been blocking all the redirects.

Re: Ads forwarding to malicious sites

HI, am getting pop-ups on IOS iphone 5s for Amazon contests. The URL that you are taken to vary but they end in .top. Can't use the site any more because of the popups. Spoke with apple. They say it is one of your advertisers. Did all the history and cookie resets etc. no help there either.
Thanks. I attached a screen view.
