Ed.....i've Got Those Ads Again....

[pastafreak]

The ones that pop up in the middle of the page...often warning me that my apps need updating...or that my device is running out of memory...plus more nonsense. Several popped up as I was typing this.
I wonder if humbersloop is also getting them again.

Right. Done pretty much everything I can for the time being. Please let me know if you bump into any more problems.

You COULD disable javascript:

Menu key > More... > Settings > Uncheck Enable Javascript.

But things like the character counter wont work.

Worth a go if it comes back!

or not using Chrome on androids, might do it.

Thnx for back up Methyl ;)

Actually... don't disable Java... It won't let you post descriptions with your question :)

I have had a dubious setup.exe related to a "video player" waiting for me when I left an Answerbank page unattended. What with that and the spurious java updates and I am beginning to think Answerbank is not safe.

Java and javascript are nothing to do with each other of course ...

Ed //I can't find lovelinks or mobogenie in the list of advertisers... so maybe some are getting confused? It would be good if it wasn't my problem!//

I may be addled, I may be overdue an eyetest, but I'm not confused. That's what's coming up and this is the only site it appears on. There's rogue code somewhere here

[ichkeria]

I agree. I've had at least one other and it was only Answerbank-related

[pastafreak]

I've tried to post here several times in the last ten minutes,but damn pop up as keep getting in the way....mostly lovelinks.us, and mobile security.com.trckr....same time every night. 5-6 ads at a time.

"Java and javascript are nothing to do with each other of course ..."

Yes. I have gone mad.

I am surprised you're still getting these, I have definitely blocked the advertisers!

[pastafreak]

That was last week,Ed. I've not seen those for a bit. I got something else earlier...but didn't bother to note what it was. Will post here if I see it again.

[AB Editor]

Yes please Pasta. I'm glad that you've dodged them in the majority though!
