  • I've been away on holidays trying to pick up items off my want list. When I use my phone, I'm constantly being redirected to android-app-play.com or paulgrenwood.com from my want list to either the play store or I receive apl downloads on my phone. Its spamming my phone telling me I have 13 viruses. I've tried friends phones as well as well as multiple browsers and the same redirect keeps happening to where the want list is practically useless.

    Could someone please look into this?

  • I am assuming you are not using the app and instead the main website? Can you try again please?

  • The app definitely works better, but I prefer using the main site. I can check the master pile as well and there's more flexibility there.

    Is there a chance the site has been hacked or infected?

  • No...it is a rogue ad (or two). We don't control the ads that are provided.

    You appear to be having the same issue as another member. Are you by chance using a windows phone? I just added another user agent check to see if I can isolate windows phones. They are not widely used and could be why these trouble ads slip through testing.

    Its an Android. The weird part is it was popping up on multiple phones although they were all android as well. I haven't had any issues with mobile access until this week as of Tuesday when I was traveling through Calgary, AB.

  • Yeah...what happens is that a network (say Google Adwords) will vet an ad to run on its network. Then once it is live it will show up on hundreds/thousands of websites. The problem that the networks are running into now is there is no way for them to test the ad in hundreds of scenarios.

    For instance the ad could appear to be fine on desktop computers. But on Android phones in Calgary it can do something different.

    Although I wonder if this other user is from Canada too.

  • I think I was able to determine the problem was Google and I blocked a lot of problem sites...hopefully it helped the problem.
