I am having problems with being directed to another site without clicking anything and have my antivirus pop up. I am using a desktop, running Windows 10. Chrome. USA. It used to redirect only to my security blocker now it sent me here: Spoiler: redirected Url positivestar.org/aOOVM70J9JBb6y4OMs1qV_08fRMliGPEQLNWTdxrJls/?clck=w9soab4cng68kcsb24ds8oim&sid=38 it also wanted me to click allow.(which I didn't) I was just staying/looking on NU(without clicking anything on page.) or just letting it sit in my tabs when it redirects me. The only thing I can think of is a ad is redirecting me. While writing this even browsing my User profile on NU is causing problems as well and then trying again before sending this, went back to normal.
this is THE thread for reporting ad-related bugs. post them here. https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/reporting-advertisements.32118/
Do you mean user profile on NUF? There's no ads on NUF. I looked it up and it could be a popup malware that is following you around. Please take a look at this: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-positivestar-org/ on how to remove it. I haven't confirmed if it works as I just googled it but looking at the article, step #1 or step #2 from it should remove it.
Tony thank you for giving me info and a explanation for what the cause might be. Also I was going to post in that thread, but I kept overthinking and I am sorry that I incorrectly posted a new thread. If this post/thread of mine is bother some, would you please delete it then? I don't use the Novel Updates Forum much. Both of you thank you for responding and taking time to reply, also sorry for the inconvenience.
I used a anti-virus and anti-malware scanner, and seemed to do the trick. Since I'm not being redirected from the novel info page anymore.
