Information about this: http://techdows.com/2016/07/fake-urgent-chrome-update.html Sorry I can't help more identifying which ad is doing this, but I've turned AdBlock back on for the time being. If I can't trust a site to not allow insanely malicious and dangerous virus pages from being forced on me through the ads you allow, I'm not going to allow the ads to even show. |

Country/location: USA Device: PC, Windows 10, Firefox browser MAL URL: http://myanimelist.net/anime/8841/Kore_wa_Zombie_Desu_ka Note: The MAL URL is the most recent place it happened, but I found that this redirect occurs everywhere on MAL. Furthermore, the URL I saved is just one but, as other users have shown, it changes constantly and the old URL will stop working. As you can see from my screenshot and my listed ad URL, there will be different ones. |
