OT...Flight Simulator sponsored ads popping up here?

[therealjambo]

Disabled java script in Chrome browser settings and the ads are gone. Thanks

[Dimus]

I use Safari and turning off JavaScript in advanced options seems to work. I don't know what it affects but I don't do much browsing on the phone anyway.

[sonicsolutions]

Adblock plus...free ad blocking extension for most browsers and devices. I haven't seen hardly any ads in several years on the net.

[jankees]

Mmm, have it now on my phone. Most annoying..adblocker does not help.
How I hate this commercial ****
Blocking java does help though.

Grrr, tablet has it now too. Bastards!
And they are not even really fs related either

[Montie]

I started receiving the ads on my iPhone yesterday.

[dhasdell]

I've started getting it in Chrome on my Samsung Android tablet, which doesn't run Java, but not on my Windows 10 PC.

The adds have arrived at my android phone as well. However only on the SOH pages and when I open the SOH and the add pops-up it starts with a general add. After switching pages it only shows Flightsim related adds.
There are a few things weird. In my experience malware pops-up at any site once your infected. In this case it is one stuck to the SOH. It is also a bit weird that it can't "remember" previously visited sites and that it starts with a general one and only switches to Flight sim related add after the first page.

Haven't been able to find how the clear Java on my android phone....

Cheers,

Duckie,

I get this too when I check SOH on the go using my IPhone. Typically I use Safari when I check whilst on the move.

Hi Rami,

I have iPhine too but I don't do any web surfing on it. My inflection exists on my iPad which is essentially the same in this respect to iPhone. For a work around you can go into Settings, Safari, Advanced, and turn JavaScript to OFF. That should work for SOH. However, if you visit other sites that require JavaScript they may not work properly or even open. I've had this happen to me on my iPad.

I sure hope the brain trust here can figure this out.

Not for me - my Chrome on Android tablet doesn't use Java.

[Ickie]

I just spent the past 5 hours going over every file on the site which was dated 12-17 to now and locked it away in a folder READ ONLY, lol
now the smart ones are running another scan

According to want I've read Android does not use pure Java coding but rather a derivative of Java which may be close enough to allow this bug to infect devices of a certain version of this derivative. Obviously Androids are also susceptible to this critter that's taken hold of us.

[ChipShop]

Same here since 2 days ago; but, only on my ipad!

It seems to have gone away on my end,thanks Ickie.

[huub vink]

You are definitely searching in the right direction Ickie, as it has disappeared from my android phone as well.

Thanks for your efforts!

Huub

[Duckie]

GONE now from my iPad! Go Ickie, go!

[Tim-HH]

Yes, it's gone from my iPhone as well. Great work, Ickie

Greetings

Thanks Duckie. Whatever it is, it seems to have gone now. Well done that man!

[b52bob]

Funny, the ads disappeared on my IPad this morning. Everything was hunky dory until I opened the first post in the library thread. Maybe something in there?

[Dimus]

AOK here too

[Ickie]

i gotta go lay down, i am beat.

[glennc]

Ickie,

when you you wake up: looks like success here too. They are gone.

Merry Christmas a few days early.

[Montie]

Gone from my iPhone as well

[Ickie]
