Are full screen pop over ads going forward the new norm on xda? If so i guess we just have to live w/ it, but ads like this are incredibly annoying...
Happened to me the first time I logged in today but thats it.
I've gotten it on my phone and on my computer the last few days...
Are you talking about accessing xda on a laptop or on a phone's browser/app? Its happened to me viewing the web version from my phone. Really annoying.

I have seen this on so many tech sites lately. I am just doing the nasty thing and using ad-block for chrome. I wouldn't use it if the ads weren't as intrusive but these are just silly.
You are using chrome.. is there no AdBlock-Addon??
Never seen that
// this message is nonsense 5/8. I need to get "search in thread".

All the forum sites are using pop up ads, flash, etc. these days, and it freezes the browser momentarily at times.
That's why I use Tapatalk-based Android apps like this one.
Too bad I can't see all the fancy signature blocks, etc. but I can see & reply to messages quickly.

It just annoys me when I am reading xda on my computer, I understand why they do it, I still don't like it.

We are not choosing to put pop-over ads on XDA. If you see them, please screenshot them and send it to "svetius".
Full screen ads on my Gingerbread Nook Color are a total fail! I usually don't mind ads, but this is going too far.

Please read my post above. We hate these too, but we need a screenshot to know what you are seeing. Else how can we get rid of it?

How's this screenshot from my DroidX Dolphin HD browser (flash suppressed)?
And here's another from my Desktop PC:

Yeah, this totally sucks, and could be a reason for me to not visit XDA. When I'm viewing this on a phone, it's ridiculously tedious to close the damn thing down on a small screen.
I'm not sure if it's a problem with my phone or the apps themselves. Does anyone know what I can do to remedy this problem?
Also sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum.

my experience with adfree is, that this app filters not all ad´s. but a lot of. I think it is important what information is inside the host files which you must download. Maybe it is a good idea that you renew this file every day. Try it.

If you want Ad-free app to block apps, then you must be download n installing the host files regularly...
Everyday, new adds are posted and Ad-free doesn't recognize that automatically...
So, open the app, select BOOT NORMALLY and select "DOWNLOAD & INSTALL HOSTS"
That shud keep those pestering ads away...
I found when using it that it also blocked web sites from loading like mediafire... Think because it its ad heavy.so you may find it causes other issues.

Actually I do update it everyday. It filters everything else except for Dolphin HD.

You might also want to consider AdAway from one of the Dev here on XDA. Available off the market Great host file collection. I usually update once a week.

I love this app, totally recommend it!

I've been using it for quite a while as well. Best one I've seen to far and even speedup some of my apps as they don't have to load ads from other sources. LOVE IT.
I've switched to Adaway. This is much better! I have one complaint, but it's a minute one. The ads are gone but the banners where they were are still there. Instead of an ad it just shows a message saying something about "not able to load." does anyone know how to get rid of that? It's not a huge issue but it'd be nice if it was gone.

That depends entirely on the app.
If there's a placeholder for banners, nothing can remove it, but the developer himself.

In Dolphin HD?? Damn I was hoping it'd be similar to Adblock Plus for GC and FF for the computer.

Hello All,
I started to get advertisements under my "notification" bar. Sometimes I would get a notification, and it is like advertising for something, and when I click on it, it attempt to access the webpage ( which I declined to continue). Is the fact that i'm getting these advertisements mean that my phone is infected with spywares? if so how do i get rid of them?
thanks

Most likely you installed a app that has advertisements some have google apps and some have ones that pop up in your notification area other then it being annoying its not necessarily spyware, find the app and uninstall it and your problem will be solved
Our you can install Rom toolbox pro from the market and block every type of ad everywhere

Get airpush detector like the other post said. Thing about these apps that use those kinds of ads also like to thro shortcuts on your homescreen and browser. Everyone hates these apps so rather than block em, i prefer to uninstall them and not use that devs stuff again till they get the point!

Quick question relating to ads... Some come as txt. Rarely do but I get some. Any advice with those?
Sent from my SGH-T999
I think theres an sms blocker app thats supposed to be good at stopping those. Never had a need for it but have seen it mentioned a few times.
In the upcoming jb, this feature is built in.

I'm hoping someone can tell me how to get adfree to work. When I open adfree it says I'm up to date but I still get ads in a lot of apps (words with friends, bacon reader). I'm running viperINC 1.0.1. I feel like it used to block ads but has stopped working lately. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I don't think it will block all ads. Try another ad Blocker and see if you get different results.

It seems that I get less ads but for full screen ads I get a blank white screen. What's the advantage of that vs an ad? Still pretty annoying.

Just how it works. The ad blockers modify your hosts file to change the address of ad sites to be unavailable. The place where the ads are will still show depending on how they're coded into the app.

Content from security.rltk.us, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.
Is what I'm getting. anyone else?
I also got this. Xda needs to do something. I hope all the users have good paid antivirus. Not the the free or hacked kind.

I also got this message, but not on every page. I think it's because of some special ads on the side / top which might be untrustworthy?
Yar, getting it too.
i to got it but webroot showed nothing in the scan, weird?
I confirmed its from a new ad that Xda is running on some of their pages, If you enable adblock on xda (i hate doing that becasue i support this site) the warning goes away.
Granted xda needs to do something.

how do i do that?
The malware is just probably some add sites on which they embed php codes inside the image files for tracking page views. Pretty harmless to me

If you are a chrome user.. you need to add an adblock extension from chrome store..
Firefox means addon of adblocker ... well till this issue gets resolved.. later you can remove it..
