    Yes. Well I been tweaking my pc registry to enable smb and changing the IRPStackSize to fix my file sharing problem to allow my android device to access my PC's shared USB drive.

    Hmm, for a sec there, the ad on the side did show up but it was completely white. well it's back to the screenshot now.

    I'm looking at the screenshot and for some reason it's replacing '<style>' with 'style>' which would break it. It's doing that for all of the html tags

    I have no clue how to fix your problem to be honest since it seems like it's a problem on your side. You're the first to report that problem.

    How about enabling ad block? Thanks for the support but that must be really annoying to have that random text so you should just use adblock on NU.

    It's actually become worse... I've been on wifi the whole weekend, so didn't have a problem, but once I switched back to regular mobile data plan, I'm getting redirected 3 out of 4 times I access Novelsupdates.

    Sites that I've been redirected to include:
    wegotmedia[dot]co
    mobile.trcking[dot]online
    spaces.slimspots[dot]com
    redzumstva[dot]com
    dealitright[dot]click

    I got a reply back from the ticket I opened a few days ago but forgot about this thread. Sorry

    I was told those sites were blocked. Let me know if you're still having problems

    allcdn.review
    aucdn.top
    omum.site

    Doesn't work though?

    Yup, this seems to have worked. No more redirect ads. Thank you very much!

    I've been experiencing this same issue for about 10 days on NU domain pages, but not on NUF. I am redirected 3 out of 4 times by these ads. I'm on iphone, using safari. I have already cleared the cache, but nothing changed.

    Can you link to what pages you are being redirected to? AFAIK Tony needs that to solve the problem.

    Actually its not on tonys sholders the ad services are to blame here https://gigaom.com/2012/10/19/notorious-ad-hijacker-spreads-to-more-media-retail-sites/
    @LazyLuong Its like legal viruses i suggest that if your on an andriod device you get ABP ad-blocker from the play store to protect your phone also download malbites and run it on airplane mode to make sure your phone is not stuck with a root key hit or other forum of malware

    I get redirected to a page that redirects to other pages in an instant, like a chain-redirection. Should I get the link from the very first redirections (which would be hard to accomplish) or is it fine if I get the links of the last loaded pages in these chain-redirections?

    No man the links are free foruming even if you could get a stable URL it would not help pen down the problem however if you could note the codes in the developer console with a screenshot that would be cool

    I don't know what is a developer console and I currently don't have a pc, I am browsing through my phone. Is there a developer console on safari? I'm using an iphone, by the way.

    If you could get the URL of the problem sites, it'll definitely help but I'll open up a ticket about this and will let you know once I get a reply.

    Thanks
