My best source started doing this about 10 days ago.
I'm using Win10, google chrome, and use AdBlock within chrome.
I've run all the appropriate malware scans and ccleaner.

Is there a good app. that can protect from the redirects?
I'm getting no more than 90 seconds before these redirects.
My current other sources are crap, save for the prime time stuff.

The offer still stands.

Just making sure that is adblock plus that you are talking about. Stop Sign says ABP. The one on the right at the bottom of this post. If you are using the one with the hand. Swap to Ad Block Plus and give it a shot.

Also making sure you are not clicking on anything. Sometimes they will lay an opaque hyperlink over the entire viewing window so when you go to click the volume, pause, play, whatever, your click is actually a hyperlink that redirects you. Usually a mouse over will tell you if it is a hyper link or not based on if it changes shape at the volume control (Arrow to pointy finger) If it is always pointy finger, you are on a link

There was a place I use to go that had an annoying popup window which I could circumvent by going in to full screen mode. Hail marry with this one. F11 is a full screen shortcut for chrome. I would F11 then click the full screen on the video.

Knowing the source would help with trial and error - Jack knows where to find me if you want to 3rd party that info to me. I'm Win 10, AB+ on Chrome as well and not having issues the little bit I use it.

Thanks. I appreciate the words and might take you up on the contact.

I'm certainly not clicking anything to cause this. The site has recently developed a bad habit of totally redirecting to another website, which has me wondering if the site is currently corrupted. I think I found some sister sites--I guess you could call them (same appearance, different domain name)--but they have been finicky in limited attempts.

I only had AdBlock. I've added ABP and now I need to figure out what is does differently that the first. I assume they don't conflict. They both now appear on my taskbar as in the pic you posted, for what its worth.

One thing to try on Chrome

Mine is turned on but in Chrome you can go to
Settings
Privacy and Security (Far Left)
Site Settings
Pop-ups and redirects
Slide to Off





I was poking around and came across this for Firefox (below) which got me thinking

Might not be a bad idea to run Firefox, head to the same spot and see if the redirect happens in it as well. That would tell us whether it was browser specific. And you could test out the blocking capabilities on Firefox as shown below. Or the add-ons they recommend - I do know that ABP works on Firefox

Mozilla Firefox[/h][FONT=&quot]In Firefox, click the "Open Menu" button, which has three horizontal lines. Click the "Options" button in the panel that opens. Click the "Advanced" button and then the "General" tab. In the Accessibility section, check the "Warn Me When Websites Try to Redirect or Reload the Page" box. Click "OK."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Firefox also has a few add-ons that can stop browser redirects. They are NoRedirect, Redirect Bypasser and Redirect Remover.
