AAArdvark 959 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I receive an email from Asean Now every day. If I attempt to read any new article, a screen will pop up which will cover the entire screen telling me that I have won a phone. There is no way to exit the screen. It will have a Google logo on it but I am sure that it has nothing to do with Google. It comes from something called "happy day". It only appears on my Android phone and not my desktop. No other emails have this problem. and I have scanned my phone for any security issues. Please fix this as soon as possible 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ 22756 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 "happy day" or "lucky day"? There was another poster who had a browser hijack virus on his device. Not sure whether yours is the same. In this case it's on you to fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummin 7827 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Anyone else gettingmore spam mail on the e-mail used here for log in? These ones I had to redirect with a new web address and come back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob29 420 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Do you have a VPN? It seems to be a specific VPN server causing a similar problem for me. If I disconnect the VPN or change to a different server, the issue stops happening. I will follow up with my VPN provider later to confirm, the alternative is these bad ads are region locked for some reason.

I'm getting the same annoying "Subscribe to Asian Now" yellow box ad EVERY time I visit the site. There's also no way to select a "Don't ask again" option with it. Getting close to pull the plug time with all this junk. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 53933 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Same here… Every time I look at AN on the phone, & also half the time when using the laptop. Irritating - I don’t want the jeffing newsletter but can stop that piffing add !! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummin 7827 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 This is to annoying, sorry, but really? Is this necessary? There have been many complaints and it doesnt get better. Pop up ads is very disturbing and is one of the reasons I want to quit this forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan 59547 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The pop ups I only see on my cell phone and the last few days the pop ups are causing the phone to freeze and Chrome to stop working, so I have deleted the Aseanow forum from my phone and only use the laptop. It was so annoying as i tried to type a comment the pop up add would cover the box and I would X it out after it allowed it and when I started to type again the add would pop up again and then the app would freeze..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
