Virus on pprune
G'day everyone
I'm a frequent looker at pprune. It appears as though there is a virus. Some links when I click aftera few minutes I get redirected to a draw for s free Ipad/iPhone. Sometimes it says apple free, other times tpg/Optus etc. I'm not even with either carriers. Does anyone experience the same or similar? It's only pprune Any thoughts? |
Yes, i started a thread in the Pacific and General Aviation forum a few weeks ago. No resolution yet. Some solutions were offered. Thread title iPhone.
|
Same. There's a history of this... looks as if it comes in through embedded content (ie, ads).
It's out of control at the moment. |
Opera Mini Browser (IOS & Android) may help.
A separate but compatible Opera VPN VPN app (IOS & Android) blocks ads at Opera's own server level. Other installed browsers will also have their traffic directed down this VPN tunnel, so it can be installed independently, however YMMV. My own experience is this VPN solution blocks that annoying particular ad. Opera desktop browser (using it to type this) offers this VPN build right into the browser and can be toggled with the click of a mouse, and several different endpoints (US, Canada, Singapore, Netherlands and Germany). Opera is a customised version of Chromium, which is also the source of google Chrome. |
PPRuNe is almost unusable on my iOS devices due to these embedded ad redirects. Would be great if our hosts could get rid of whatever ad provider is causing it!
|
I concur!:hmm::ugh::*

PPRuNe is almost unusable on my iOS devices due to these embedded ad redirects. Would be great if our hosts could get rid of whatever ad provider is causing it! Why they haven't binned the ad provider I'll never know. The silence from admin has been deafening. Fat lot of good it will be having advertising when everyone gives up on PPrune. |
I down loaded 1Blocker for iOS. It free and takes about 30 seconds to set up.
So far so good, no pop ups. Touch wood... |
A quick-but-annoying way to avoid the pop-ads on an iOS device seems to be to let the page load, then immediately refresh it and press the 'X' to stop the entire page reloading. It isn't a long-term solution by any means, but it does mostly work.
|
If you scroll down to the bottom and select "view full site" it appears to solve the problem. The issue only seems to exist on the "mobile" version of the site. This was reported many months ago in the "computers" sub-forum, so it is not new, but it appears to have resurfaced recently.

Reported to PPRuNe Technical Administration.

Hi everyone. We work to combat these ads, but we also require help from you. To pinpoint them, it is most helpful if you post a screenshot of the ad/redirect site, and tell us your browser/operating system.
|
On your IOS device turn off Javasript in advanced settings under Safari.
This seems to stop all annoying pop ups whilst on Pprune. |
Or just select view full site
|
Selecting "View full site" never works on my iPad. Which is annoying because the mobile version is a bit naff really.
|
On Android phone as well, gave up looking on PPrune lately, only on a desktop which I don't use much now.
|
This is a problem with other bulletin boards as well as Prune.
I've found with the iPad/iPhone I've got to sign in to stop it happening, bit of a pain, sometimes. DIVOSH! |

Thanks Phil! Greatly helpful.
|
I have downloaded and installed Ad Buster from the App Store on my iPad. The ads have stopped.
|
Hi all, turns out some of the "Congratulations" ad redirects are triggered by the phone's accelerometer. If a user puts their phone down on a flat, stable surface, the ad will not trigger. Obviously this is not a permanent solution, but it is another line of defense.
|
Adbuster worked a treat! Thanks for the tip!

Yesterday I downloaded the $1 app for iPhone called "Crystal"
Works out of the box immediately. It has an option to allow advertising so you can continue to support Pprune. Mjb |
Also happens outside of Australia viewing the full site on iPad...

Been getting redirected to some dodgy links while browsing JetBlast today. My Trend Micro Antivirus has been working overtime blocking them.
This is the link I'm getting; https://lifegoalie.com/l/8c579bd6-24...-11506689a78b/ Another one. http://thequantomcoding.com/?t=wEPL8...4&adv=504&ts=v |
LIfegoalie is a known nasty - don't know about the other one but I would not click on either of these two links. In fact they ought to be removed from the post.
|
Only put up for the tech team to sort out, don't click on them.
|
Thank you guys, these sites have been reported.
|
Late on parade but as a European I can report it like wot virgin driver said, i.e.
