Photobucket and AliExpress.com
on: June 30, 2015, 11:35:52 PM
Lately when I'm go to my Photobucket I'm having AliExpress.com open up on a new tab. Anyone else having this happen. I've got adblock on chrome and not sure why this is happening ?

Sounds like one got through....download a free copy of Malwarebytes and run it...

My adblock on Firefox was terrible...download Ghostery (free)...it blocks everything.

I just loaded adblock Pro to chrome and so far so good. But we'll see because it doesn't happen everytime I'm on Photobucket

Check your Browser extensions! It is well possible that there is some installed extension that does this (that way it escapes ad-blocker / malware searches etc.).
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

it happens to me too.
I assumed that aliexpress had some agreement with Photobucket.

Nothing for me but Adblock is the first thing I install on a new machine (well, second, after the browser). :D Only sites it's disabled on are MTO and SAKWIKI.

I just logged in to PB and after a few clicks there Adblock shows 60+ ads blocked. :facepalm: They have gotten greedy.
