Constant redirects

Question

I&#x2019;m constantly being redirected to spam &#x201C;contest winner&#x201D; sites anytime I&#x2019;m in the forums. It&#x2019;s making the site extremely unusable.

I came to post of this same issue, its so obnoxious it makes me not want to use covers anymore.  between constantly barraged with pop up ads and redirects the site is no longer for cappers but more interested in advertising money and to hell with the users.  I have downloaded several ad blockers and they work for a little while, but then they start up again.   This doesn&#x27;t happen on any other site I use, just this one... why?

This sounds like a fairly well-known malware issue. I would recommend these links if you are on mobile.

If you are on a desktop you can try installing an Adblocker and/or deleting the cookies/cache. Both of those have helped others in the past.

Thanks, I do have an ad blocker on my phone, so maybe I need to upgrade.
