Virus install attempt when entering the site.. - About xda-developers.com

So I thought it may just be me but after getting a fee people to test it seems this site is trying to install malicious software when you visit and are not logged in (mobile device) I've included some screen shots as I think this is quite a big security breach with the amount of users here..

Isn't the while point if the forums to stop things like this? I sure as hell don't expect XDA DEVS to need to install this app on my own phone. I was under the assumption that developers could be trusted on here so why the need for this? Also a simple search on Google flags it as malware

Thank you for reporting this - this isn't something XDA itself is promoting but it is coming through one of our ad networks and we have been unable to track it down. Did it take you to the play store to install that App? Or did it download the APK directly?

Thanks for responding.First time was just for the apk second time it was play store

Was it for the same app?

I'll try to replicate it to get the non market one again as I denied the dload when it asked. Will report back

I go that on a different site yesterday. Bad popup ad with no ability to click out of it. What happens when a site doesn't screen their advertisers, they get to look like idiots.
As a note, my bet is it's "Clean Master" as I'm seeing that same general popup without the virus warnings today.

I applied xda reconized contributer form last month . I got a reply including a link containing comments of my application reviewer . I just follow that link , but I get Notification from my antivirus about bug contents .

Sorry guys, but safety first.

I always thought that those were fake. They trick you into thinking that you have a virus , then the app you install to remove the virus is the actual virus. I just click those off

The CustomRUU and Hard SPL produce false positives on some AV software, this is known and accepted, and is a result of the packaging software used.
Although, all downloads on the internet carry the potential to have virus's, it's up to each person to decide what they download and assess the risks that come with it.
If you do find a post that contains a virus, please hit the "Report Post" button and one of the mods will look into it.

If there were really viruses, it would be a big topic here.
If there is one, then narrow it down to the exact post# on the thread...

lol, get a better AV n00b its a FP!!!!
I Also Noticed A Virus Warning, When I Ran A Scan On My Laptop!
It Said That Certain Zip Files I Backed Up From My Phone Contained The Viruses!
I Haven't Really Gave It Much Thought Figuring It Might Be Because Of The Superuser Apps, But Maybe Now I Should?
Anyone Know If My Speculation Is Accurate About The Root Apps???

Grindr for Android url

Admin note: link removed in response to take-down notice from makers of this product. Please refrain from reposting. Thank you for your cooperation.
Very cool. Thanks!
Installed, went to set up profile, program force-closes every time I click "edit name." As much as I like Grindr, I think I'm going to uninstall this.
[before anyone asks, I did fix permissions and restart the phone.]
J~
is this what i think it is?
If it doesn't force close, it just says there's an error.
Ahaha, just what I needed. Not! Lol I should prob Google a app first before blindly downloading

Yes it is, there a problem sir? :]
I've been running this for a couple of weeks. I have the same bug in that I can't edit any of the free text to add a name, headline etc. Chat and pics seem to work ok though. I have a funny feeling that grindr are trying to censor information about this alpha as nothing seems to show up about it on twitter etc.
Does anyone know - or can anyone find out where the settings are stored for profile - are they on the phone or on the grindr server? If on the phone perhaps a config file could be hacked.
When it doesn't force close, I can't get it to even sign on to their network. I'll have to stick with scruff for now
I have a feeling settings are stored on their server, since they were working on letting you use the same profile on multiple devices.

To the mods that see this, I apologize. I had to.

XDA is not the place to discuss that. Most of them are considered "warez" and are againt XDA policy.

Considering you still "own" your PlayStation one discs' like some of us its not illegal. Try Google searching ps1 roms and you'll find a bunch of rom sites. The files are called roms. Google is your best friend.

The files can get rather large though. Some YouTube video will tell you how to do it. Try playing original resident evil 1 and 2 or spyro the dragon and marvel vs capcom. So freaking sick man. Also the px4droid dev release 3.0 free of charge on his website since android pulled it out the market its now open sourced.

Whale Trail ICS

Have updated phone to Ice Cream Sandwich, all is well so far, yet I am unable to reinstall my PURCHASED version of Whale Trail. It states that my device is not "compatible". I have contacted the devs and they have said basically nothing of use.
Has anyone experienced the same with this app or any other app using ICS?
It is also unavailable when I search for it in the market, it only appears in my history of apps for my account.
I don't want to have to go through changing the lcd bla bla bla as I am unwilling to root my phone and fiddle with things I rather wouldn't.
Please discuss and share some light!
Thanx
............anybody? *tumbleweed*

If developers saying the software is incompatible with ICS, I don't think someone can help you around here, afaik.

I would just like to know if anyone else who is running on ICS on SGS2 are able to download and play this game with no hiccups.
It is a live wallpaper right? I can install and run on my phone w/o any problem. Framerate is enough. Yeah lags happened occasionally because it's animated.

Sorry guys, it themes that it is no more compatible with the latest Android Wear version. It just does not show in the list of the watchfaces. But since the Fallout 4 release is close, I think I'll find time to migrate it to new API.
