Windows – Random redirection to adult sites of mobile.juicyads.com

browserdnsgoogle-chromeredirectionwindows 7

Since two days ago, almost all of my clicks open new tab and redirect to this Adult-only URL:

mobile.juicyads.com/service_redirect.php?p=64686&s=124309&u=http://www.google.com

Parameters p and s are not fixed as far as I know but parameter u which is http://www.google.com is fixed and for all of redirections are same. I understood that the URLs which didn't visited yet are redirecting to mobile.juicyads.com websites so if we visit URL A and see the mobile.juicyads.com advertising once, we won't see it again if we go to URL A again.

What is the problem and how can I fix it? I use Windows 7 ultimate and Google Chrome browser and tried these:

  • Scanning whole my drive for virus and other bad-wares using Avast!
  • Restoring computer for earlier time using Restore Point
  • Disabling plug-ins and extensions (Everything I could!)
  • Clearing DNS cache and other caches
  • Using different DNS servers on my modem-router
  • Pinging pages that I didn't visited before, results were OK

I should say that it's not Only my problem and occurs for other people too. And also before this problem (about a month ago) pages were redirected to adfoc.us website (See related question).

You have malware on your system. Get Malwarebytes (or an equivalent piece of malware - which is distinct from antivirus software), run it and see if it cleans it up.

I note you may have some difficulty getting Malwarebytes if your system has been infected and is using a proxy to hijack your browser - using another browser MIGHT be a way arround this, otherwise download it from another system and use a USB or equivalent to get Malwarebytes to the infected system. To be safe you should probably not trust the USB key after its been plugged into the infected PC. (Or use a burnt CD so the contents can't be changed).
