Scrolling adds at top automatically Redirecting browser

Posted 06 October 2009 - 12:10 PM

I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly which add is doing it, and have no idea if you have control over them at all, but Certain Adds will redirect automatically to a Click verification type page which searching the yellow pages or white pages or something. I'm not sure exactly what it is doing, and i'll edit my post once i get redirected again.

Is there a way (other then upgrading to DIC++) to stop these adds?

DIC++ will turn them off entirely. 500 kudos or you can do the yearly for $15 and it'll go in to the prize fund.

If you figure out which ad it is, let me know as we work very closely with our ad networks and can usually get ads filtered pretty quickly.

Thanks, I've been attempting to Grab which one it is, but every time I get redirected and use the back navigation it shows a white space where the add is supposed to be at.

A screenshot? I think you may be talking about the one at the top.

Ok, So I've got the addresses of the sites that i keep getting bounced too, but still unable to figure out which add is doing it. Maybe these will aid you in knowing whats doing it:

NOTE: There are alot of them as it happened about 3 times in a row

Not Sure

TheClickCheck.com

Some Retirement Search

Back to the retirement income search

Bounce

A Redirect

Yet another Redirect to looksmart.com

Another Bounce

Again to the Retirement Savings Search

Looksmart Again

Back to TheClickCheck.com!

And yet another Redirect to The ClickCheck.com

Bounce again

Bounce Again

At this point i was finally able to navigate back to DIC only to get 6 clicks in to get redirected again:

Here are the screenshots of the history:
First Shot

Second Shot

Third Shot

Fourth Shot

I am using firefox and it happens both at home and at work. I am sure i'm not clicking the ad because it happens as soon as i click a link to view a post.
