Adsterra Banner And Popunder Has Redirect Virus Android Users
Just found out this morning, one of their advertisers install redirect virus download page to domain (macarte dot site...) on Adsterra banner and popunder code. Site will immediately redict to the notificuation page and ask u to download the app on Playstore . It only affects android browsers. Immediately removed them before Google finds out and ban my sites like Plugrush in the past.
Anyone with them should check ur sites for their codes. |

Is it a virus or an extremely aggressive app install sales funnel? Is the app a virus? Play Store lists apps with viruses?

They need to ban these malicious advertisers instead of constantly just telling us to give them a screen capture. I uninstalled their script because they drive away visitors to your site and give you a bad reputation as a malicious site. So like you I'm looking for a new ad network.

Its a auto redirect to a notification page click yes or no with notice that ur android device is detected with virus in the storage space. After u click yes it leads to playstore and download the app. Didn't try to download.

That's bad experience for the users, they will never come back for sure.

So it's an extremely aggressive sales funnel, or "fake virus" lander; not an actual virus. Just wanted to clear that up.
But yeah, pretty good way to drive visitors away. |

But I've also been getting an ad with a giant 'X' that covered the entire site. There was no way to close the 'X' except to click on it. It's fake but the average visitor doesn't know that.

It is actually sad to hear people leaving from Adsterra, but I believe that some clarifications and explanations are needed.
1. That ad you had falls under “Software ads” category. They tend to be very aggressive, that’s just how they are. There are no viruses, malwertising, adware, ransomware or anything like that, I can assure you. And you can actually turn off this kind of ads when requesting ad codes. 2. However, that does not explain the redirect issue that you encountered. We do not condone the auto-redirect ads, but they tend to slip through. 3. And that is why we sometimes need your help to react to them! I already reported that ad to our managers, so they can review it thoroughly and ban it, if they deem necessary. And we are always asking our publishers to contact us, if any problem with redirect arises, just so we can react to it faster. It is sad to see you go, sorry for the inconvenience It’s been an honor, gentlemen о7 |

Perhaps it's a glitch in your system or perhaps you've got some advertisers that do not play by the rules.

Can you send us your login/email, so we can further investigate the issue with this particular advertiser? ___________ Meanwhile, Hamilton Steele, I sent your website to our Partner Care dep so things like that wouldn't happen again. Sorry for all the troubles you had with our ads |

I decided to give Adsterra another chance. Perhaps this will be a wake up call as to what these
software advertisers are doing.
