Flash auto download

[Deleted]

Just got redirected (on desktop, using Chrome, 11:54a, Portland OR) from the FFFC thread on GKU to 
an autodownload of Adobe Flash at 
paiyafototips.com that doesn't seem all that legit. I didn't stick around long enough to get any info, but my browser history says that's where I was directed to.

Same thing happened to me trying to direct access O16. I clicked out of it as soon as I realized, but it downloaded a FlashPlayer.exe file which luckily my malware caught and deleted before I could try to delete it myself.

(Using Windows 8, Chrome, 9:40pm, Washington, D.C.)

NariaDreaming I believe you were gathering information on this issue as well.

Happened again just now, luckily my antivirus caught the malware because I didn't back out of it in time. Is there something I should be doing do avoid this?

Let us know if it's still happening in 20 minutes. WE just switched to new ad tags, so theoretically if the issue is on the ads that we serve, it should resolve itself.

It just happened again.

@led, what thread. Also can you send me the following information:

- General location
- Thread link with page number
- Wireless or local connection or cellular

It's definitely not our ads because we have them turned off right now trying to fix this. That means it has to be something coming from another user's signature or a proboards ad and knowing the thread and page might help us figure that out. It seems to be happening more on GKU so I'm thinking it might be a siggy issue.

-Portland, OR 
-It was either PAGE 4 or PAGE 5
-local connection 


Previously it was on the FFFC thread on GKU. The one that's forever long from like 2 weeks ago. Not sure if that helps at all.

@led, macaronmama, Can you send me the reports from Proboards ad report tool that NariaDreaming has announced here:
goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/100450/follow-directions-reporting-mobile-redirect

Chose the two most closely associated with the time you had the issue.

It just says "an hour ago" "2 hours ago," there's no timestamp on the reports to be able to pick which ones it might be.

@led, Hmm, if it happens again send me what you get. I have one set of ad reports from another user and hopefully they'll be able to figure this out quickly. I know it's got to be driving you nuts.
