Macbook Ad Issues

[BillyShears]

Don't know if anyone else is having issues with the ads at the top of the page. Here's what's happening on my screen.

When this happens i usually get redirected to this page. Happens on both Safari and Chrome and happens even after i've cleared my cache/history etc.

Anyone else having similar issues ?

Have you had a look at settings>help and about? Check if you are up to date or not, don't click on the link you're receiving.

Then do a full virus scan to be safe

Yeah it's getting worse. Weirdly enough if I run adblock then there is literally no issue. However as soon as I remove adblock when i come to Bluemoon first i get that black screen from the a obscuring the forum, then I get redirected almost immediately to that page.

Going to run a scan now see if there's something been added/attached to my web browsers which shouldn't be there.

I would have a look at this article, although it is PC centric they're probably all available for the Mac.

It will take some time but I would complete each and every step, it'll check and clear more than just your anti-virus program on it's own.

Edited to add link, Doh

BTW, you can treat this as a generic clean up article rather than just in reference to a browser redirect. It would do no harm for everybody to run through it.
