Gonzo the Face Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I know that English is the language used on this forum..... I have seen it told to posters many times. On my computer at least, and maybe others can give their status.... there is a foreign lanuguge script turning up all over the place . I seems to be something like arabic..... Does anyone else get this or do I have some type of virus creeping in ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau thai Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I fear you may have a virus-in addition to running a virus scan, I wouild also run Malwarebytes,ccleaner and Spybot-all free to download via google. Good luck. Then if still there, run all the above again in Safe mode. Should fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It's a Google Ad - points to Aussie immigration. Google has somehow figured out in their wisdom, that Thai Visa is a target audience for this in Arabic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really quite odd to see that Arabic script half way down the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really quite odd to see that Arabic script half way down the page. It was also coming up in what was I believe maybe Swedish or Norweigian perhaps.

harrry Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) I think you are refering to the advertisments which are paid for by the Australian taxpayers warning people that intend comming to Australia without visas that if they do not have one and arrive in Australia by boat they will not stay in Australia..They are in arabic turkish pribably hini and urdu too as well as many others.

hellodolly Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Actually when I saw the title I thought it was referring to posters who will post a Thai saying and not tranaslate it. I have noticed that happening more and more lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saan Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 The ads have put the fear of god (allah) up me so much that I'll never go home by boat again or I might end up in New Guinea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickmanchester2 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Such as.. آیا به استرالیا می روید؟ immi.gov.au/novisa سیاست های مهاجرتی جدید استرالیا تغییر یافته است This is advert is popping up on just about ALL websites.. If its coming up on all websites, it might be one of these 'retargeting ads' that Google has been doing for a while. You will have seen them before, the same ad following you around the web.. its a bit creepy I know, they put a cookie into a web page you have visited in the past and that allows G to keep on showing you the same ad over and over again.
