    Hi guys. I discovered this doesn’t happen when I’m off my WiFi and just using cellular data. That causes me to believe that possibly our provider, Spectrum, has something to do with it, like maybe the provider is being targeted. Do the other people experiencing this issue also have Spectrum internet?

    No issues here. Well worth the Society price tag!

    Not society, but when I started experiencing this, I ended up installing an ad blocker, which solved the issue. Please let me know if this is resolved so I can disable for BA and continue supporting the site.

    No to all of this. Was happening to me on Verizon cellular.

    I fixed by resubscribing to Society, but it’s embarrassing that this continues to affect people after several days.

    Update: I've reenabled ads to help test some recent efforts to thwart these malicious ads that apparently impacted a ton of sites on the Google Ads network.

    Please continue to use this thread to report any redirects.

    Thanks.

    I also got a virus from this Google Ads! Then I deleted it from the PC for a long time!

    Starting to get it again. It’s popped up the last three times I visited the site yesterday and today.
