I was on the main F16 page a few minutes ago and there was a full screen redirect to the URL below. I've shortened some of it but this was the start.

https://trojanguard.ru.com/avs/en/dt/mca-4.php?

There was no closing the ad, I had to use the browser back button to go back to the F16 screen.

I've gotten it several times in the last 24 hours on the Politics board.

Here is the entire URL I got a few minutes ago:

Same thing's happened to me a few times on iPad the past couple days. Plus Texags seems sluggish in general.

TigerDroppings having the same issue. Seems like a redirect scam maybe running off of the advertising system? Guessing it is the ad system because I use an ad blocker and this hasn't affected me at all.

I'll add that if you look at devtools network activity while sitting on a static page of texags (like this thread) its crazy - tons of requests going through. Why so active on a page that is already loaded? Most of the activity seems to be ad related. And they don't stop when you switch to another browser tab either. Same in an incognito tab as well.

I'm on an ipad and getting the reroute to Mcafee virus scan - seems to be happening more frequently.

eta: ok, I was actively scrolling through the premium story on Cashius Howell and the Mcafee thing popped up. I closed TexAgs, opened, and started scrolling forums to get to this one and it popped up again. Previously it's only appeared after some inactive time on a screen.

Don't leave Texags open on your computer. Just returned and found "the ad" open for who knows how long. I'm not techie enough to know if that hijack ad can do anything if you click nothing.

It looks like there is a vulnerability that is being exploited to direct traffic to eyeota.ck-ie.com

getting windows antivirus / defender pages popping up frequently. says it is blocking a trojan attack from an ad.

Just happened to me as well. Rebooted, same issue - no other sites open - no pop up until I open TexAgs. I'm in Chrome/windows. Doesn't happen in Chrome from my phone and doesn't seem to happen until I watch a video.

I've had the McAfee pop up/redirect twice this morning on my iPad.
I am not the Six Million Dollar Man, but I might need that surgery. "We have the technology, we can rebuild him!"

getting redirected doesn't mean you're infected. Once you get redirected, just don't click to install anything and you're fine.
