strange new issue, watchseries.lt
Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2016 6:03 am
Ok, I spend quite a bit of time streaming videos from http://watchseries.lt
Now when I first started, every click on a page would link to a page other than where it said it was sending me. Most containing viruses. I discovered that there must have been invisible ad's or links over the actual links. I installed ABP and bingo, the problem was gone. Now links worked as intended. Ok flash forward to now. Now when I click on a link (using firefox 43.0.4) instead of opening the link in a new window (window 2). It opens an identical new window (new window 2 is same as current window 1 http://watchseries.lt) and current window (window 1) changes to another "Ad" page. Pages asking me to update java, or update flash, or some other software update. All of which my AV flags as "dangerous". Now in the new identical window (Window #2) looks like where I started and now the links work fine.
Then when I move to the next episode, the whole process starts over. window 1 click link, opens window 2 that is exactly where I started in window 1, and window 1 becomes an "Ad" with scams/virus. Now I know they have virus's because I fell for them years ago. I have not fallen for that again. I do not click anything in the new window and the few that were flagged by my AV get blocked before opening.
I have already scanned for virus's twice. Once with an AV that I keep on the computer and again from an AV saved on a DVD so that I know it cannot be changed/infected. I know it is a clean version of the AV. I have also scanned in the same manner with Anti malware software. Once with the one on the computer and once with the one on the DVD. Oh, I should mention that it was two different AV's and AM's. AVG, and Symantec. Malwarebytes and Ad-aware. So there is no question I do not have anything infecting my computer.
All of this started about 3 days ago. (today is 1/24/16). Now All I can think of is..
1. there is an ad or something that ABP is missing.... or
2. these websites have found a way around popup/ad blockers
Any chance that ABP is aware of this and doing something about it?
