Occasionally when I'm browsing through here on my computer it goes to other random places and every once in a while I get some messages from my computer that I have spyware/viruses on it:patrice:

That shyt could be a hoax as nothing bad as happened to my computer but whatever I'm never going on The Coli from my computer again.

Does anyone know about this?
I see them when I go to download sites, basically its bullshyt ads.

The next time you get that do this for me fam:

Reported the problem, this is the info i'll need so we can track down the problem ads and get them taken care of:

- Screenshot of creative ad on phone:
- Exact URL you were visiting when you received the redirect:
- IP Address:
- Date and Time (include timezone) of occurrence:
- Device Type:
- Browser:

For the ip, i just go to Google.com and put whats my ip and it comes up. I'd appreciate it if ya'll could help me w/ that info if you can.

To make it faster report, just take a screenshot of the page you were on when you got the ad showing the ad. Like if you got a Lyft app redirect, scroll to the ad thats showing the lift ad on here and screen shot it. Then Do the google for the ip, screenshot that, then email it to me Brooklynzson@thecoli.com . That way you can just attach the photos, you don't have to worry about uploading to imgur and pasting the pics on here. Add the rest of the info in the body of the email.

That way we can get the problem ads blocked.

a lot of weird stuff going on. one desktop chrome, I noticed the page keeps auto reloading (about every 20 sec), and switching up ads. some of these are playing audio, and others end up redirecting. in fact I just got redirected trying to type this

@Brooklynzson

The stuff youre asking us to do (take a screenshot, save the page etc) is impossible because the redirects happen before an ad is visible and you cant go back to the page without going back to the ad. The best I could do is provide the URLs of the redirection.

Its getting real bad on Android for sure...like unusable as I said. I am on my iPad now on Safari and have had none of the problems, hopefully that helps.

I'm getting redirected from this shyt on my android phone. Keep getting that annoying your phone has a virus website redirect. Every single time. I'm on Microsoft edge right now any have had no issues so far but Android is terrible.

Edit. I'm getting directed to the same sites as Ed G in the exact same order.
