Spyware
« on: January 19, 2025, 12:50:27 UTC »
While using my Android phone, this website main page is totally saturated with spyware. Advertisements pop up and block the page so I can't see anything on it and I have to close out my browser and reload it. I see it's mostly Chinese Temu ads. But they come right back. It's highly annoying. If it's not this website I'm going to have to reset my phone to factory zero. Just wondering if anyone else has these problems when accessing the website with an Android.

Our ads come from Google Adsense. I don't think you would be picking up spyware from them. Perhaps it came from another site?

You would be surprised.  I run Google AdSense on several of my forums and we have had to turn off a lot of their automatic ads for issues like this.   Log into your adsense account and head to Brand Safety - Content - Ad review to see which ads are showing the most on your site.  You have the ability block any that don't fit the LiveATC community

There are some other settings you can apply as well.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Wes-

Thanks for the feedback.

We do this almost incessantly, and also add the bad URLS to the banned list. But it's a daily job.
