What's with the flash warning?

[Megalobyte]

Me too. Only on MR

Do you know whether the pop-up displayed MacRumors address?

****. Time to close account. Gotta protect personal info.

Yeah, that's where I'm redirected to as well

Ran Malwarebytes on my iMac. Search turned up nothing. Running Clamxav scan on my MBP...

Precisely why I never use real information on any website except for my email for confirmation purposes. I was getting the message too btw, chrome started blocking them after the second popup.

 

[jerwin]

Getting it too.

 

[bunnspecial]

I'm getting it on every page. It's making the site unuseable to me, too.

 

[SamGabbay]

I have Comcast. Could it be a ISP issue?

 

[e93to]

I'm with Rogers (Canada)

 

[flopticalcube]

No issues for me on my home machine.

No issues for me on my home machine.

Wow. Interesting

 

[iapplelove]

I'm getting it on LTE with my 6 plus. I'm not home so I didn't try it on any other device or wifi

 

[lamborghini392]

Is it gone for you guys now? It is gone for me, website loads completely now without redirecting.

 

[Shadowbech]

I'm getting this too. Not just on macrumors but other website as well. I'm In US.

AdBlock is working for me, but my brother called, he's getting the error message, he fails to run AdBlock till now. Fixed it once he installed it.

Yeah, instead of adding the filter (solution) I mentioned in the post right above yours, post a giant screenshot showing us what we already know.

 

[whodatrr]

Happening on lots of sites while I type this. The Internet done broke.

 

[NitroZip]

Have it here too

It's only happening to macrumors for me

 

[techguy9]

Yes, this has been happening to me tonight, as well, especially with MacRumors - and other stuff on other sites. Initially, I thought my flash was out of date - but it wasn't.

Are those other sites using XenForo?

 

[e93to]

Does this only affect Macs and Apple products? It doesn't happen on PC and Galaxy tablet

 

[lamborghini392]

I think it is an ad with malware in it or something. Re-enabled adblock on this website and it's gone.

If you have Adblock installed, go to its settings and add the following filter: asset.pagefair.com (that is where it's coming from, at least on here) and the problem will go away.

Whatever that site is and whatever it's being used for on here, it's infected with something (i.e. Flash is NOT out of date; I have the latest versions and everything I've read on the Net indicates that it's a fake and possibly designed to get you to click on the button to infect your computer somehow. I doubt it does anything to Macs, regardless, but can lock up the web site by not allowing anything else to load.

Actually, I have had Adblock installed, and have (attempted to do) or done as you suggested. For now, that appears to have worked.

You have my profound gratitude and thank you for the step-by-step instructions (I wrote them down before following them painfully).

This foul message has popped up elsewhere, too. All I can do is cast robust aspersions on the origins of their birth and seek to consign them to the abode of the rebel angels…….

Getting it on my iPad. Time to remove macrumors from my privoxy whitelist...

 

[sunking101]

No probs coming here on my 6S+. No popups or redirects.
