Hi everyone. I am new here - never knew about this place until earlier today. I found a two year old page here, that might answer my questions, but I’m wondering if there is a newer discussion on this topic.
Here’s my question as of today, along with a link to the old page here:
===========================
I had some concerns while checking the following website.
When I went to this page with my Android phones running Chrome Beta (both Nexus 4, and HTC M8), I first got a pop-up window, and then in the window it said something about my computer running slow, and did I want to install something from mob.limitshare.com. Something like this happened before, and after that I decided the best thing to do was immediately close all my apps , and then make sure my phone wasn’t already downloading anything. (On my PC, the above URL worked fine.)
I have “Ad Block Plus” (adblockplusandroid-1.2.1.apk) installed. I thought this would prevent pop-ups. I don’t want my browser opening pop-ups, and certainly want to be sure my phone won’t download anything. (To be sure, I periodically check my download folder, and I have “install from unknown sites” turned off.
I am trying to find a way to prevent this from happening in the future – I think it’s called a “push ad”. While searching on the net, I found this link which offers a solution:
https://forums.comodo.com/comodo-mobile-security-cms/comodo-mobile-security-cms-v142505949-with-push-ad-detector-is-released-t86966.0.html;msg625135#msg625135
That’s as far as I’ve gotten. I’m somewhat lost. I though Ad-Block would do everything, and I don’t know enough to understand the software from Comodo. I almost installed it anyway, but the permissions it warned me about seemed far too scary.
Any advice?
===========================
After thinking this over, I thought the best thing to do would be to create an account here and ask. Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give me.
