Yeah, I have attempted to follow those steps and some time after I have gone back to the forum I was viewing on here, I was suddenly forwarded to another Urgent Firefox Update site at nichufreevectordownload.net/7293493494757/a4cc4f39fc2e71b5b016b72bf9418df4.html where it tried to have me download a JavaScript file called firefox-patch.js as shown below. I ended up hitting cancel on that even though Avast didn't detect it for some reason, but then I got an Avast warning that came up on the site after closing that pop-up message as shown below. After clicking on "Get me out of here", I was forwarded to the Avast home page at www.avast.com/en-us/indexI have also gone to the Ad Reporting page to try to report it and again saw the latest entry being nine hours ago, so I had to report using one of those entries hoping to get it.

Yeah, that ad that you reported wasn't it.

Yeah, that ad that you reported wasn't it. Well, I couldn't figure out which one it would have been with a number of nine hour ago entries to choose from and nothing more recent listed for some reason. I have also ran a Malwarebytes scan again and nothing was found.

Thanks for reporting! As always I recommend running malwarebytes every time you get the redirect just to be on the safe side as well.

Thank you for making the report. Just to save you some time, it isn't necessary to post here that you are reporting an ad, as we get the information instantly once the report is submitted and begin our investigation. Additionally, the "where" you were sent provides no real value as it does not contain any information that leads us back to the ad that sent you there. If you still wish to give us the redirect URL, it's best to put that in the comments area of the report that you submit so that information is inclusive in the report. Thanks,

Thanks, Oh sorry, I didn't realize it wasn't necessary to post here regarding an ad I just reported, it is just that it is annoying to get forwarded away at times to somewhere else while I am either trying to do some customization on my forum here, making a post to a forum here, or just trying to read threads and posts, and want to make sure something is being done about it.

Erik Mouse, Do you have anything in your browser's extensions / add-ons that might be blocking the ad reporting tool? Have you tried running a session in a Private / Incognito window? I ask becaue I just went to your forum, clicked the Report Ad link at the bottom (by the way, I would suggest making the text in that footer a lighter color - it really blends in and might be construed as hiding the footer as the links are hardly discernible), and was presented with the 3 ads that were on the home page, so I know the tool is working.

I haven't thought about running a session in a Private / Incognito window to report an ad as end up coming to the Support forum and using the Ad Reporting Tool here since I had been forwarded away from my forum when the problem happens. Also, I'm not sure how to make the footer text a lighter color.

Without text highlighted: With text highlighted: If you look on the 2nd image, you'll see that one of the links in the bottom line of the footer is Report Ad - so you can just report the ad from there. I had just clicked that to see the 3 ads from your home page. As far as making the text lighter, perhaps someone can point you in the right direction on that, as I can't find it.
