    Solved Malware, spam, virus - redirects

    Post by vvv eries April 7th 2021, 8:29 am

    Hi,

    Sorry if this is totally in the wrong place, PC is broken and have to do everything via my mobile for now.

    We have a site which has been going for a long time:

    https://ifca.forumotion.com

    Our users and myself included have an issue.

    When browsing the forum, any click on any link (new post, user) etc leads to a redirect to some other website, usually spam.

    This is annoying and causes our members not to want to usr the site. Mostly happens from mobile.

    Hello,

    Can you disable / delete your custom JS script here and try again please?

    This type of ads or redirects is mainly linked to external resources like this one. Maybe there is a link with your problem.

    Thanks for the swift reply.

    I have deleted the script as indicated.

    I have also gone into the site and clicked away, no redirects but I dont know whether Im just lucky.

    I will take a screenshot the moment I do get one. If not I will be back tomorrow to let you know.

    Thanks again for the help.

    Hi

    As promised my feedback. I have now use various browsers to try and replicate the redirects since deleting the Java script with no success, so seems that did the job.

    Thanks for the assistance!
