Annoying ads: redirected from the main site to theirs automaticly

Trasher258 · Apr 29, 2008 7:57 PM

I'm just minding my own business when I'm taken to this other website automatically. It happens almost every single time I visit a webpage on this site. Is there a way to avoid this issue or not?

I had to rush to this page as fast as I can to avoid them. That is a problem.

Hmmm... I never had it. What is the website you are taken to?

(Paste the link please.)

Please let me know where you were redirected to. That shouldn't be happening.

Can it be caused by adware on his system? What do you think, SR?

Spyrorocks · Apr 29, 2008 9:15 PM

Thats a possibility.

That's odd. It's not occurring anymore. I don't think this occurs often I guess. H/O a sec... I keep seeing something about "connecting to www.picfury.com" on the status bar of my browser. Is that suppose to happen or is it normal? I looked at it but I can't seem to get in directly.

I'm checking the history dictionary of the browser now.
Here's the ones I found:

I scanned the internet for PicFury and I found out that it is some kind of affiliate image hosting. Meaning ADS.

Google wrote:

PicFury is paying you to upload images and then get people to look at them! Every time one of your images is viewed, you get money credited in your account! This is NOT based on unique visitors, but rather image views, meaning that if you upload 10 images, and one user views all 10 images, you get credited 10 times!

trafficz.com is for domain parking. For example, if SR wants to "shut down" SpyroForum temporarily (I hope not, SR ) he will "park" the website name and the contents of the website will be replaced by tons of ads. When he wants to turn it on, the website name will go back to him.

Actually, I believe this happened to me as well - It only happened once, and it (thankfully) hasn't done it again since.

Well, I removed the ad code since it was causing problems.
