Is Ab Infected

[nailit]

Does anyone else keep getting redirected from AB to either bywinners.men or babittedwinner.men telling them that they have won a phone or playstation? Keep getting this but ONLY on AB. I often have to restart my lappy as well as I cannot get off the page. Scans etc are showing no infection on my device.
As said, it only happens on AB.

[RATTER15]

No, I dont think its AB problem, possibly just the link you are using is infected.

[mccfluff]

i do if i make the mistake of trying to access ab on my phone, but I rarely do that as such an awful mobile site

[Prudie]

What is your device? I and quite a few others were getting similar if they went on AB via their Samsung mobile a few weeks ago

[nailit]

Laptop prudie.

Nails you may have to install the unmentionable. But do not advertise the fact if you do.
Couple of links you may want to look at. The first link from TRT mentions what must not be talked of in the Title. Try it.

Thanks Togo, will have a look at the links. So it *IS* an AB issue then and not something on my lappy?

[Togo]

I think that the second link shows that you can report such issues to Ed, Nails. The first link is just advice. (^_*)

From time to time i get a message saying my phone is heavily infected and i need to download something or other to put it right

I also get the one saying i've won a phone

I have had this recently on a Samsung. I did a soft reset. Press power and volume down together for ten seconds so the phone switches off and back on. That seems to have got rid of it for now.

The unmentionable doesn't stop it.

[nailit]

Everyone seems to be getting it on their phones, I'm getting it on my lappy.

Have you run Malwarebytes? (Didn't help on phone though). Or go to Control panel and deactivate pop-ups.

[Baldric]

Nothing amiss with AB here at all.

I used to get a lot of problems like this a couple of years ago then it stopped. Currently I am having problems when I am typing, it will stop and as I'm not a touch typist I don't realise straight away.

//Or go to Control panel and deactivate pop-ups//
How do I do that (complete technophobe)
Had a friend who is a bit more tech savy than me look at it and theres nothing untowards on my lappy.

[Samuraisan]

Yep nailit, me too on my iphone, but not on my ipad.

[pixie374]

Have you tried Malwarebytes first?

[nailit]

No pix, will have get my mate install it I think. As I said, I'm a complete technophobe with this stuff :(

[nailit]

// Currently I am having problems when I am typing//
Get that as well.....Never used to on the old site!

Not got an ipad but have got a tablet. Will have to try AB on that (when I can wrestle it off my son)
