Only redirect I get, is that accessing the 24hr on my iPhone pops open the App Store from time to time. Same here. Or it redirects me to some game website. Only happens on iphone. I get that on my android. wants me to download games for free,right now!

I am one that hates adding things to my computer. But the ads were getting so bad I finally decided to add adblocker to my computer. It has made a world of difference.

Scott F,
"Adblock, what's adblock and why hasn’t anyone mentioned it before?"
I can't begin to count how many times it has been discussed here on the 'Fire.
Scott, I thought you were running Ubuntu. What browser?
If you are running Firefox, Adblock Plus is an add-on that blocks that nonsense.
I am running a Windoze system with Firefox and Adblock plus, and I am having no popups - ever. (So far, at least)

Myron, you thought right. I am running Ubuntu with Firefox and Adblock Edge. Sometimes my sarcasm get away with me because most of us here have told about the joys of Adblock for years. My laptop has a duel system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I do almost all my on line while using Ubuntu and seldom even open Windows.

One of the best side effects of Adblock - no more ads at the start of youtube videos either.

It only happens to me every so often but on my Android smart phone. What can I do to stop it on an android?

I was figuring Scott was being a wiseazz...LOL. As often as ad block has been mentioned. ![[Linked Image]](http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/that-awkward-moment-when-your-sarcasm-is-so-advanced-people-actually-think-youre-stupid.jpg)

It's not a 24HCF thing, it's a virus or adware that's installed itself in your browser. You've got to get that off first.
My favorite tool for adware removal is called malwarebytes. You can get a free version from malwarebytes.org. Download and run that thing and it should clean things up pretty well for you.

I don't get pop ups, but this is the slowest moving forum I visit. Don't know why, but it takes twice as long to do anything here. Even simply turning the page.

Scott F,
I thought what is going on if he is running Ubuntu with Firefox and getting popups?
That one had me puzzled for sure !
Now if I could just find a cure for clumsy fingers.......
Take care,
Myron

If it was only the 24hr - it would happen to everyone. It doesn't.

If it was only the 24hr - it would happen to everyone. It doesn't. The pop ups and ads HERE are purely the campfire. Always has been, always will be, until Rick figures out how to make money without unscrupulous individuals. The reason it doesnt happen to everyone is because everyone is running different systems, and ios sucks, not everyones smart enough to run ABP, and yet others cling to the pos firefox. Its easy to find which servers are causing schit, but apparently someones either not smart enough to eliminate them, or they got money invested in those companies.

I've run this site on no less than 12 different systems in the time I've been here. Including multiple browsers, mobile phones, laptops, desktops - PC and Mac - never an issue. NONE.

Firefox with Adblock Plus.
I have literally never seen a popup ad on this site. Ever, in all the years I've been here.
