Lovoo ad has been blocked, which was causing a majority of the problems

Hello, sorry to poke you but nothing changed.
Sorry for my harsh words , they're of course not directed to you personally

but will this ****ty situation stays forever then?
Xda simply became the most ads hijacked site i ever browsed in the whole World Wide Web with an android device.
Lovoo brings you to his PlayStore page without warning,mobogenie.apk download pop-up still occurs here and there (sometimes on dev-host also),and worst of them all that lovelink.us page (that also leads you to a mobogenie.apk download pop-up) that forces you to press your back button (no way to skip it, it doesn't mind if we tick "no" of course lol) many times successively (sometimes have to go back up to 5 pages from the one you was trying to access for it stops,and you have good chances the loop will start again soon after).
I just don't understand..nobody in the forum staff could confirm this? Get the annoyance it was?
Again, this situation is ridiculous.
Thank you

Noob user think its a virus or something

gottech · Mar 3, 2014

I got those when tried to root my phone. Can't remember which one though. It was a computer root method though. Deleted it when I saw that it was the one that passed this to my phone. you have to uninstall these from your phone. I will try to recreate this and tell you which root method it was.

I got this exact same thing as well yesterday. This was the first time I saw it ever on any website, and it only happened when I surfed xda on mobile. I'm not running any sketchy programs on my phone and my ROM came pre-rooted, and there are no issues regarding this from other ROM users.

The page at 'h**p://nym1.ib.adnxs.com' says:

If it was the xda site I would be able to replicate results. I cannot. I have been all over the site trying to to replicate so I can help. Must be just your phone. I would suggest looking at what you have one your device and deleting one by one to see if it stops. When it does you have found the culprit. I never said you run questionable programs but sometimes they get installed while you are installing something you want. It is called adware, or malware and I have started seei ng this a little more on android. You could send me a linl to the page that you get this on so that I may replicate your results

Scareware Ads?

Anyone else getting these? They shouldn't be allowed.

Do you have AdAway or similar? As that blocks them. But they're definitely coming from the site.

gottech · Mar 8, 2014

No, nothing. I was wrong however mobogenie comes from vroot's new version. I believe something was installed without your knowledge in addition to something you wanted in the same fassion that adobe flash installs McAfee scanner on your computer is there one page that ways brings up this problem?

Really annoying, I hate browsing xda on Android devices and I'm too lazy to install AdAway.
Some time ago when I browsed on the page it Chrome downloaded MoboGenie automatically, at the end I had 10 mobogenie apks in my download folder. Now I'm "glad" that it is only scareware which can be tapped away -.-

gottech · Mar 9, 2014

I seriously cannot repeat your results with anything as bad as your reporting.

Recently got the same thing on my Iconia Tablet, stock 4.1 rom, not rooted, Opera mini browser. Only happens on XDA from what I can tell, I use other browser for XDA at the moment and has no problem. Maybe mini loads different ads.

Lately, I get a Nexus 7 tablet - haven't rooted it yet, and haven't installed ad-blocker.
Browsing xda forums - when I access the site the first time, I get the popup (see attached) - doesn't show up after that.

Unlike the other ones that I saw in this thread, this actually states "the page at forums.xda-developers.com says:" (instead of <ad-site> says)
I hit the back navigation button - but I wonder how many newbies (to android, and to xda) will assume that xda has some fancy virus scanner that detected a virus?

Edit: just noticed - @noodles2k indicated the same issue too

It started few weeks ago. Sometimes I'm searching in Chrome or Samsung browser something and I'm getting as results links from here. While ago, Chrome asked me if I want to open the link into Tapatalk. Now it doesn't (it's not set to open links into chrome as default instead Tapatalk, I guess the issue is with chrome). The only browser still asking to open the link into Tapatalk is the Samsung browser.
However, if I'm opening the link into the browser I have 2 issues:

1) very intrusive ads and also unprofessional for such forum

Example:

2) compressed text

I noticed this too! UGH! Switching to landscape mode fixes this, but dang - didn't expect these issues on xda.

Sorry for the late answer. Yeah, most of time works in landscape (had one time it didn't). But is pretty annoying to read a forum in landscape because of the reduced reading zone.

Just had an ad on xda stating my android is infected with a virus. Popped a message box up and everything. Please don't allow this rubbish to continue.
