Annoying Cookies Subsim and Android

NeonSamurai · 10-13-15, 02:13 PM

Odds are still quite high it is some browser hijacker in your phone, and not subsim. The more sneaky ones will only target a handful of the sites that you use the most as a way of disguising their presence, so that people think it is the site doing it and not malware on their computer/device.

try googling "crobo malware"

I'll do some checking on my side.

Googled "crogo redirect" and found this:

http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/06/sha...e-google-play/

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/118...ng-redirecting

The second link is to another forum and, in the thread, the first link also appears; also, mention is made in the second of a problem related to Google AdSense. May be something to look at...

Thanks, vienna, that's a big help. I do not have Google AdSense anymore, not since they delisted Subsim for the Beautiful Woman thread and all those promiscuous mentions of "escorts" (destroyers).

I will turn off the Lijit banners for a while and send a note to their techie, and see if he has seen anything amiss.

Let me know if it continues.

So far no redirect problems.
