This is the redirect page that shows briefly. It's stuck now but I don't know why

I have tried hitting new posts about 6 times without having a problem on my phone since the site came back up. I ran into the problem 2 or 3 times on my phone earlier today.

For those experiencing issues as above, this is what I recommend doing:
1: log out of the forum
2: Clear out your browser and system cache
3: remove the "cookies" for this site from your browser
4: do the same for any back ups you may have
5: make sure you are using the latest version of your browser
6: make sure you have all patches and updates for your operating system (PC, MAC, PHONE) and any anti virus or anti malware programs you may be running
7: reboot
8: log back in
Report back here
On CHR, 95% of the end user reported issues were cleared up with these simple 8 steps. 95%

This is the java code that triggers my ads...
When I go to the "Today's Posts" page, this is the code on the page that downloads the advertisement trigger file that opens a new window on my browser. I can get it to work at will. It downloads that referenced file from cloudfront.net, which appears to be in base64, which brings in a larger file, and gives it a random name, with no extension. You can click on that cloudfront.net link and see it for yourself:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/ame. js" ></script>
<title>Club Cobra - Powered by vBulletin</title>
</head>
<body><script data-cfasync="false" src="//d3qk9u6c2k2cid.cloudfront.net/?cukqd=651512"></script> |

I looked up the Four Virus on google and it says that the phone is the carrier, yet there were none of the things the "how to remove" article says, and the instructions given to clear the browsers cache and data (forcing me to reenter all my passwords and favorites). Everything was going swimmingly UNTIL I opened the Club Cobra page and I got the exact same thing again.

Ok, also so I better understand, as I can't reproduce this myself, you mentioned that you looked up "Four Virus" and it's something that is on your phone? I'm just trying to better understand the issue without being able to see it directly...
Also, is the redirect at the time that you click on "new posts" or after the page loads or somewhere else?

Looks like we're crossing posts. Before I did the web browser data reset it happened only when I did new posts, but then when I did the reset it was on the first visit to the site and not even in the forum area! It does appear that this "hijacking" is specific to android devices. Again, I suggest looking at the ad content to see if they are bogus. The intermittent nature of the attack could be from the ads since they are random, right?

Depends what IOS is being used too. I had no problems with my iPhone or my PC. My iPad asks me to "block or allow" a pop up, which I block of course. |

Note that this only happens on the Club Cobra forum. Other searches indicate if it is on every site then the phone is infected, but if it is only ONE then the chances are it is the site. And they specifically mention AD PROVIDERS!
Your system is heavily damaged by Four virus! pop-up ads | Stay Protected
This makes sense since the variable content at this site is in fact the ads. So it might not be Club Cobra that is infected, but the variable content linked to for the ads. This would apply if the ads in CC are links to other content and not wholly contained within the database of CC itself. Brent, this might be something to look into.

It seems to be working fine on my Ipad. The new posts are now showing where they had not been for the past few weeks.

Well, all of the ads that show on the home page or on the new posts page are controlled by me (the content is not coming from somewhere else) and none of it is popup style....So I'll take a look at the ad content I control to double check there's not something whacky going on there, but thinking about how the system works, I doubt it is that directly. Hmmm....

A successful remedy on some other sites experiencing the same problem was for the Android user to reset his Google AD ID, which apparently breaks the link on how the adware is delivered to the device.
To do this on your Android phone, go to: Settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising ID.
Then see if you can get the ad to come up again after hitting the site (like CC) where you were having the problem.

I spoke too soon. Took me to a site about medical marijuana, another called pegasus.com, and some site for virus software. 3 times in a row. This is on an Ipad.

Are you saying that when you come to this site you are automatically redirected? |

I can come to the site, but the minute I touch the screen to go to a forum like All Cobra Talk, it redirects me. I cleared my cookies and history. I could not even log-in on my Ipad this morning. Every time I touched the screen to enter my name, it redirected me to some other spam site.
My home computer seems to work fine, but it has anti pop-up software and all that other good stuff. |

That is odd then...So far as I know I do not have any popup advertising that could be initiated from my site...I have turned off popup blocking on my browsers and I am not seeing any popups (I do not have IOS or Android). Computers!  |

Brent,
This is probably not related but three days ago when I logged on using my desktop and two different Browsers, on the top of the Forum page all I could see was the names of the posters. No new threads or posts as all of that was just blank. Now this morning it is all showing up Ok. I also tried my other computer using a different OS and got the same thing.
