    Have you tried what i wrote?
    It works great and does its job on my whole network and consumes very low power (instead of a pc) so it runs 24/7/365 here.

    I have been using Firefox as a thing of necessity for about a month now,before than it was Chrome.
    I always install an adblocker with every browser and i can tell you i will be going back to Chrome soon,Firefox is terrible with popups.

    I use "Palemoon" (firfox derivative) then noscript add-on to block "google-analytics.com"
    seems to have done the trick. :wink:

    I still got popups when logged in. I am forced to use a script killer. I use uMatrix. Seems to be doing the trick, but now I have to set it for every legit site I visit that may have a youtube vid or something that needs permission to run. Tsk Tsk Audioz it looks like your main site is getting dirty. I hope you wonderful peeps can sort it for us mere mortals :)

    Hello, first of all i'm sorry i got here so late - somehow i missed this topic :dunno:

    that doesn't make any sense, because you cannot see the the log in form when you're actually logged in :no:

    there is absolutely no way you can get popups while logged in, because the engine only processes the popup code for unlogged users. when you're logged in, it's simply not there. it can't be there :no:

    so, really, there's no problem as long as you're logged in :dunno:


    that's interesting. are you sure you got this at AudioZ? was it opened in a new tab, or you were redirected there in the same tab? - if that's the case, please read this.
    If it's not, please tell me more.


    that's not true :no: i would never consciously serve malware to my users, no matter how much those companies pay. PopADS uses latest technologies in AdBlock detection, that's what all the hustle is about, but it is not a malware and like i mentioned before, only guests can see it, so as long as you're logged in as a member, you don't have to worry about it, because the code is not loading for members.


    and even if logging in is not an option for you (for some twisted reason), you may try to add this line into your hosts file:
    127.0.0.1 popads.net

    but seriously, just log in and forget about :mates:

    Here's what I've figured out with regard to Peeplink and it's malware onslaught.

    Once on Peeplink and it displays the URL links...I don't click the link(s) anymore. I just type that link into my browser's address bar. Then it takes me to my download server where I get my download. DO NOT CLICK THE PEEPLINK.
    They're loaded, infected and ready to spew all over your computer... that shit is getting too aggressive and annoying. It's making me use the internet less and less. Hopefully someday soon... I can ween myself off the internet altogether.

    Here's a thought for you people. When the internet does finally get hijacked (and it will happen):woot:, it will bring the world as we know it to a screeching halt. All the governments (which have all been hacked already to varying degrees), financial institutions, hospitals and power grid infrastructures will be held hostage and you will not even be able to use a cell phone... think about it:wtf:. It's going to happen within a decade (or less)... It will result in complete anarchy... people already can't even function in life without a cell phone, their text messaging and Facebook:deep_facepalm:. That's why I have prepared myself for the imminent iWWIII (internet World War 3):knock::trashing:!!!!!!! :rofl:

    I always "logon" to AudioZ before I logon to this forum. My point was that when I click to logon, there is a popup that is dealt with by my Firefox ad blocker. Even so, I still have to X out from the now blank popped-up page. Maybe it's just me. It happened a few minutes ago. I can show you a screenshot if you like.

    PopAds IS a malicious network spreading malware.

    And here

    As shown in my previous post an example of the encrypted code loading on the sister site.
    Here it's unencrypted:

    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" data-cfasync="false"> (function(){ var u=window;u["_pop"]=[["siteId",1362566],["minBid",0],["popundersPerIP",0],["delayBetween",600],["default",false],["defaultPerDay",0],["topmostLayer",!1]];var r=["//c1.popads.net/pop.js","//c2.popads.net/pop.js","//www.wkhychiklhdglppaeynvntkublzecyyymosjkiofraxechigon.com/g.js","//www.vzhbfwpo.com/fz.js",""],h=0,q,v=function(){if(""==r[h])return;q=u["document"]["createElement"]("script");q["type"]="text/javascript";q["async"]=!0;var f=u["document"]["getElementsByTagName"]("script")[0];q["src"]=r[h];q["onerror"]=function(){h++;v()};f["parentNode"]["insertBefore"](q,f)};v()})();</script>
    As you can see it's trying to inject javascript files from total bogus domain names.

    Here is a bunch of them that i catched so far:

    The fight continous.....

    Anyway, you as admin should protect your userbase and not do business with such shady criminal ad networks.
    I'm sure 99 out of 100 people wouldn't care a few ads, but this is just attacking and bombing your userbase with malicious ads (even if you didn't know it and it was not your intention, you know it by now they are malicious).

    quick update - i just saw one malware ad at peeplink myself. i reported it to PopADS and it will be removed soon.
    if you see any malware - please report it to me. thank you.

    but why do you need to log in every time? i log in once and never log out :dunno:

    lol, malwarebytes used to block our old domain audioz.info. they are not someone to relate to :no: google "malwarebytes sucks" for a proof.

    well that is exactly why it cannot be blocked by AdBlocker :yes: it doesn't mean they are a malware. unfortunately it happens to any company that their customers inject some sort of crap with their ads, but i have no doubt they will remove that malware site as soon as they receive my report... or i will remove them.

    :snuffy: The main reason for all that shit is PROFIT.
    After the European Cookie-Terror policy nearly every site implements crap-shit POP-Ups and newly one cannot
    access to pages and sites if an AdBlock(er) is detected. Even Image hosting sites bombard you with annoying
    POP-Ups. Internet is useful & fine...but some people - with financial interests of course - make a hell out of it.

    Ha, ha... Paranoia, brother. <lol> I never stay 'logged on' to any website -- even though this one is among my top 5.

    Did you actually read that article on Malwarebytes?
    If audioz dot info was blocked by MWB before it should have a reason.
    If audioz was loading malicious scripts, with or without your knowledge, then sure it will be on their blacklist.
    Same as Google Report page, if they find out you provide crap with malicious intention you'll get blocked and visitors will be redirected to their famous "get me out of here" page.

    It's up to you Saint, as far as i understand you are the owner of these 2 websites audiosex and audioz.
    Personally I would be way more careful with ads, third party scripts (especially using obfuscated code that tries to inject unknown code) and which network to use, and respect my users by not risking them to get infected by criminal ad networks such as Popads.

    Personally i don't even bother Popads, as i block the hell out of them even with their new announced shady tactics.
    I use multiple methods to block and detect them, and simply add them to my blacklists.

    Saint, we thank you for the opportunity u give us with the website.
    But please consider another way to gain some compensation.
    I am sure we find an ethic way to solve the problem.
    I am fedup with these porn and malicious popups.

    BTW: i tried to make an account over there and it didnt work...
    what exactly would you gain (in money) if we all have accounts on there???


    i use "script defender" extension now in chrome to get rid of all

    i use Adblock and never got a popup, i don't know why you guyz still get em'.. maybe you took a failing version of adblock cuz i noticed that there's a lot on the google search.
    Make sure you're downloading it from their official website: https://getadblock.com/
    Make sure your adblock is up to date
    Check the boxs (image below)
    (mine is in french langage but it's OK you can just follow steps)

    I don't experience this problem.

    I'm logged in all the time.

    I can't even force popups here or sister site.

    Doesn't matter what browser I use and I don't have any "blockers" running.

    I'm on OS X (latest) + Windows (latest) and nothing.

    Could this be OS / browser version specific?

    well, then you'll get the popup :dunno:

    that's exactly what i do, by not using Adsterra for example :yes:

    good for you. knowledge is the power. :like:

    with all respect, i sincerely do not understand what's the problem when you have the option to login just once and forget about popups forever. most other "similar" web-sites don't leave that option :sad:

    not exactly a good solution, because ~90% of modern web-sites heavily depend on javascript...

    absolutely nothing. advertising companies pay for number of impressions (i.e. how many times that popup has been viewed).

    there's also AdBlock Plus, which works even better :wink:

    - what he said :like: :yes: :mates:
