Really annoying problem with avast popup-lijit.com

martin57

Hi,


Anyone with Avast anti virus installed getting pop up warning when accessing,


http://www.thinkbroadband.com/


or account on talktalk that the licence to the site lijit.com has been revoked.


it happens every time this past few weeks and a post on the avast forum seems to think it is related to ads on the above sites.


Its becoming a bit of a nuisance, not happening on any other sites so far.


Just wondering if anyone with the latest avast free could check if they get same warning on thinbroadband site?


Thanks

Thanks for reply and that thread which does seem to be discussing avast pop ups in general.


Just wondering though if anyone with avast could try the home page on the well known site thinkbroadband or even login to their talktalk account and see if avast pop ups the warning about lijit.com page being revoked.


Thanks

no

certificate or licence

add

127.0.0.1 ap.lijit.com
127.0.0.1 beacon.lijit.com
127.0.0.1 www.lijit.com

to your hosts file

and/or install ghostery

ad sites sometimes spread infections.

I am using the latest Avast free and am a member of Thinkbroadband. I am also using uBlock Origin on Firefox which I find to be the best add blocker for me.

I don't get any pop ups on Avast but I do leave gaming mode turned on. Only unusual thing about the tbb site is that the loading circle in the Firefox tab sometimes seems to take a while to complete and stop turning.

Hope this helps.

yes mart, it's not just you, sometimes need to refresh the page to clear it on TBB

Seems to be fixed now anyways, hope it stays that way.
