Suspicious popups about "out of date software"


Recommended Posts

Posted

Since the works on the forums i constantly get annoying popups about "updating JAVA", "updating Browser", "updating Flashplayer".

Those are all up to date so I am kinda really nervous about these things (I haven't downloaded anything so far and I for sure won't) still it sucks since the actual window closes, the "prompt to update" opens and I have to try again to get where I want (sometimes more than three times in a row - at least till I was able to write this now!)

Anyone else has this? Before the works I didn't have any problems at all.

It might be some of the ads serving those popups. If anyone else encounters those issues, please post here, as I haven't been announced by anyone so far.

 

Also, please take a print screen when that happens so I can forward it to the ads company for a check.

well talking about "happen again"... just needed another 3 starts to post... but at least I could take screen caps...

 

The page just reloads out of nothing and this shows up... you can't navigate anywhere else instead of clicking this "OK"-Button (or close and reopen the browser)

Alright, thank you for providing the print screens. Can you tell me on what page you were when the popups appeared?

It happens on almost every page... right now it happened on the start page of the forum, yesterday it was when I wanted to answer this thread through Quick Reply. So kinda everywhere.

Can you please try accessing YO from a different browser? Maybe you have some weird extension on the current browser you're using that causes those popups to appear. No one else reported this problem

actually, this happens on mobile too. I get a different pop up... which when I try to do something, either link me a new tab saying my phone is running low on speed and more stuff or redirects me to google play. It happened with UC browser, idk with the rest >_> umm.. I don't really use phone so I don't know much T^T

Do you happen to know on what page did it appear? Also did it appear each time you accessed a specific page, or just randomly?

It still occurs, just now on the main page

Hello

Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.
.. i actually have the same problem. I only use mobile and tablet pc. I just keep my account log in. So the pop ups that redirect me to google play usually happens whenever i visit YO. I keep reloading but it just redirect me to google play. To be fair, this does not happen all the time. Though when it does, i usually can't access YO unless i open the link, or try to log out and come again. It usually just my home page and not on the forums. But when i tried to visit the- read manga section, the same problem occurs.

Here is a sample of the pop up.

Same problem here, only when I'm on mobile.

Same problem ^^" but mine is automatically redirecting me to an app called 'Brave frontier' . also some pop ups about attempting to download multiple file.

It happens on my profile page.. And the photography contest thread. I haven't browsing much though ^^" so i can't say if this occurs exclusively on this threads.

Thank you all for the info and print screens. I'll forward them right now to the ad provider so they can check what's causing the issue.

Thanks for the print screens, I'll forward these as well.

 

It seems the issue is for mobiles in Germany and the Philippines.

, I don't think that issue has something to do with one's country. I noticed that if I only use YO on mobile, nothing happens, but if I go on another page, then come back to YO, that message appears:

It has to do with countries, because the ads are geo-targeted. So far, except you, all the complaints came either from Germany or the Philippines. One of the ads targeting the 2 countries (possibly some other countries as well) is at fault.

Except me? Now I feel bad enough for coming across to an error I wasn't supposed to come across. xD

Well, you are the only one so far who reported encountering the issue from a different country than Germany or the Philippines. I appreciate you reported it, so we can look into it further.
