This started yesterday, and only happens on the DIS (community board, as it's the only one I use). I opened the DIS, and the icon in front of the DIS board, instead of the blue box with DIS in it, was my ISP logo. Dis opened, and on top of it was a full page, saying if I answered some brief questions, I could get a free phone, or a low priced phone. I knew it was a hoax so I took a screen shot of it, and called my ISP. He had me email it to him. He said they would investigate since whatever it was , was using their logo illegally. This morning I ran malware bytes, which found , as I suspected a pup.exe thing, from that site. I quarantined it.
This morning I opened the DIS on chrome again, and the same thing happened. But when I open it in IE I don't get that page, and everything is normal.
The icon is now back to being the DIS box instead of my ISP, but every now and then, that weird page keeps opening itself back up when I try to DIS. Anyone got any suggestions on how to block this thing permanently. I have a pop up blocker running as well as adblocker, and yet it's still getting thru. I even tried adding the address it was coming from in chrome security settings to be blocked. I am stumped
