When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.
And it's back... odd. Again only here but this was the first time since my last mention of it. Going to delete all cookies again. Seems like an ad issue again. I don't get it. Of course I dont have Norton to begin with. If I clock close, it forwards to the fake warning sites. If I do nothing, it still does and will forward endlessly.
Don't click on any link inside that message. Also it looks like you have the AppleCare protection scam virus on your computer per this link https://www.pcrisk.com/removal-guide...op-up-scam-mac . Read some of the posts on the apple.com support site about this very same issue. Hope you get better soon...
This AppleCare thing is a redirect virus according to what I just read and apparently Avast will slow your Mac down so I edited my previous post. Hopefully you can do the force Safari to stop and then restart to clear it up. Very annoying problem...
I really hate repeating myself. Its not a virus on my system, its clean. Hell, I was even running Safari sandboxed this time. I put an ad-block on this site so that should take care of it.
OK, so from that original screen shot of yours apparently you went to "New Posts" and that's when the bad ad popped up? And then apparently if you block ads then the problem is fixed? I tried to replicate last time using my friend's Mac Pro and could not get it to happen, very strange. Hopefully you will not have any more issues...
Any action on this site can trigger it. Does not happen with every click so its not a frequent problem. I visit here a few times a day and it might happen every couple of days. And only here, no other forums or pages that I visit.
Well you know it might have something to do with site ad localization, because when I logged into the "New Posts" a minute ago I see a Microsoft ad pushing Excel in Office 365, but if I go to the LR3 site I see a Scotiabank (Canada) ad, I have never seen a "Shop at your local Autozone" ad. This is certainly a very strange problem, hopefully it is not a malicious one...
