*UPDATE* The Desktop redirect appears to be fixed, please let me know if it happens to anyone again. The mobile redirect is still occurring, please copy the link if possible.
Hello Everyone,
Your friendly tech support person here with a reminder that if you are ever redirected to another site and told to download an update for your phone, your adobe flashplayer, adobe acrobat, or that you have a virus the chances are it is trying to get you to download unsafe content. DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING on those pages. Please screenshot these posts and/or copy the link if possible and PM it to me. Click the x on your browser to close the page afterward.
Some DESKTOP users on Proboards forums are seeing redirects that tell them their adobe acrobat or flashplayer are out of date and need updated. This is NOT a notice from adobe. Let me know if it happens to you. It's happening on multiple forums and Proboards is looking into it, but the more information they have the better.
Some MOBILE users are experiencing similar redirects claiming they have a virus (you don't) or to a site called "Cooogle" (this is not Google, lol). Again, do not click anything. Screenshot and PM me with the following if possible:
General geographic location:
Wifi or data:
Cellular provider:
Time of redirect:
iPhone or android:
I will pass all information on to Proboards and hopefully they can get a handle on this quickly. PM me with any questions or concerns.
