Redirection Problem

[mmhmm]

You're not the first. Another poster had this problem (See this thread ). Try running SuperAntiSpyware. That should find the culprit for you and get rid of it. It's malware that's gotten onto your computer in all likelihood.

MSG tried MalwareBytes but MalwareBytes missed this one. If it's not caught by your scan, try running SuperAntiSpyware. It caught hers.

WTH is going on?? I keep getting kicked into an advertisement site and says it will resume my thread in 8 seconds and then just goes blank.

As mmhmm posted above, see this thread, and particularly this post.

That's a Browser Hijacker. malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-go-goadvs-com/ I'd recommend AdwCleaner

It didn't work.

AdwCleaner didn't work? If so, try another similar program.

It's not on ProBoards' end. It's a browser hijacker.

Have you tried using another browser?

mmhmm, ♥ ℒʊ√ ♥, @delmar and Icelandic Woman:

In case this helps to track it down, for me it was found as an application named Consumer Input. If you have Windows try checking your installed programs (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features) and look for that filename. Also be sure you're checking your browser's Add-Ons and Extensions (I didn't find it there for me, but you never know). If worse comes to worst, try doing a Restore Point to a date prior to this happening.

I make my gender visible due to my avatar, and mmhmm still wants to call me a "she".

Thanks, mmhmm - that did make my day. I got a good chuckle from that.

 LOL! Sorry, MSG, for getting my genders mixed again! It's that avatar, I tell ya!

I don't get redirects, fortunately. Haven't seen one of those in years. MalwareBytes seems to be pretty good at keeping such things from being planted on my system. I'm going to check for that in my programs anyway, though. Don't have any extensions or add-ons on Chrome.

It is never a bad idea to have 2 or more, as one program may miss something another picks up. Also worth clearing the cache and cookies in the browser you use.

None of my scans found it but I went to my system host and hard coded the block in to my computer and it seems to have stopped the redirect but if there is malware in my computer I need to find it. If a staff member could PM me I need to speak to someone concerning this but it best be kept private.

try rougekiller IF YOU are using windows 8 or under. Don't need to install, just download then run. the link should be here
