  1. Apparently that's everywhere. Bad ad, but not enough is being done to fix it (at the ad provider level).

    I started getting redirected to Lyft in the app store constantly in mid-December and again in mid-January (this time affecting Android, too). Gilt was the other 5% of unwanted redirects. Never used either app or service before.

    Ironically, never from this site, but I use mobile almost exclusively now.

    Search "slimspots" with spam or virus and you'll find a ton of info and no solutions. That's the site it redirects from before opening the app store.

    Yeah it's always sending me to a software updater website on the computer. Almost exclusively when I open the Logos section of the message boards. There must be a bad ad in there somewhere. It's making me seriously reconsider using this site if they can't get their ad provider under control.

    same with me, same site

  2. Just tried it again and now it's happening every single time I click a topic - and even after I click "back" to go back. It shows me the topic for a second then switches to women's health.

    Not only that, but even when I click on forums (which doesn't cause the redirect like topics do) it launches tabs to advertiser sites.

    I'm done with this on iPad. If it starts happening on phone i may need to be done all together since that's my primary posting method now.

    I totally get the need for ads, but there's a difference between an advertisement and totally hijacking your device. I apologize if this is just a virus or something that's specific to my particular device, and I know that it's not like CC or whoever is sitting there consciously making this happen, but I hope it can stop.

    I had the same thing happen to me as well. For me, it was on my laptop. No problems on the phone.

    It stopped recently, though. I was finally going to make a post about it too before it stopped. Good to know it wasn't just me.

    I had it happen a couple days ago on my iPad as well. Not sure what the heck would cause it.

    I experienced this too, both laptop and Ipad, it lasted a few days and then stopped as quickly as it had started, very odd.

    This has happened to me, but a virus scan always seems to clear it up.

    I have CCleaner it cleared every thing up once i did it
