[Ads] Get redirected to a malware site disguised as ad #128

Closed supmahbruddah closed 9 years ago

supmahbruddah commented 9 years ago

I've been getting this url after joining some games: https://softwareupdaterlp.com/campaign/islandmention2/?ID=trillmstrcpi2&sub=trillmstrcpi2&S2=wELDFEC1ODJADDRH046NUB3A

Is this something on my end or is this ad known to occur sometimes?

Looks like it happens on other websites too :

Yeah this appears to be a virus.

No malware reported though. Cisco AnyConnect Web Security showed no signs. AdwCleaner showed nothing. CCleaner shows nothing. MBAM scan running. I typically see this on firstrowsports and similar sites. Have never contracted adware from those ones either, so long as you close the ad properly and quickly enough.

Googling SoftwareUpdaterlp.com reveals a ton of information that indicates a local virus. However I added softwareupdaterlp.com to the blocked ads in Google ads just in case.
