I have written this on the main interface page and received no answers.

On some pages I get to a point where no matter how many times I click on the back button, the page goes nowhere. When I long click on the back button it shows a list and there are pages of the same link that has the word ads in it. If I click on the bottom item in the list and long click on the back button again, the same list comes up. If I do this several times, I finally get to where I was to navigate to the page.

While I haven't actually taken the time to count, I am sure that there are over 40-50 page listings that come up from one page with only a few messages.

I am using IE9 and I want to know what I can do to stop this overtly evil behavior. I fully understand the need for ads but I don't see any good reasoning to hijack my page. If I click on a link in the page, I can then go back to normal. It doesn't happen on every page, just sometimes.

Since my bookmark to this site is on IE9 and not Chrome or Firefox and since I navigate to this site only on my desktop, I don't get the problem elsewhere. This behavior is only on this site. Some sites open pop under windows (also evil) and pop up windows (annoying) but this one really gets me angry.

Again, how does one get this bad beharior to stop???!!!

Please help:crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sandiegoan:
I just went back to the offending page and several times it only had two instances of the ads link. I then went to Chrome and it didn't happen at all. I know there is evil here because it is related to advertising. Is someone posting hiding something here? Is the site doing this to me? Is it an attack on IE because of the anti microsoft sentiment?

Why Why Why???

I'm done. I'm hoping for some answers now.

Sorry about the rant. I have to use IE because it is what my non technical wife is used to and the always there bookmarks on the left are important. We also have land line becasue she won't give it up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ummm. Don't think your in the right place dude. You'd be better off searchin ms support or at least using a windows forum. This is Android!

But to try to help, sounds like a browser hijacker, or malware. You need to run scans with malwarebytes, spybot, hijack this, anti-virus....you get the idea.

Sorry I can't help you more than that. Good luck

I've run my AV software MS Security Essentials. It only happens on this site. I first wrote to the website forum and received zero answers. Since this site is populated with very tech aware people, and I visit this forum (I now own a S3) almost exclusively, I thought I would try here.

I know that it is off topic, but since it only happens here I thought I would try here next. I also have a request in the Chrome forum as to how to get the left side bar bookmarks there.

Thanks, I hope it doesn't get deleted until I at least get some answer. I won't post here on this subject until someone asks me to qualify my question.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you haven't already, download and run malwarebytes. Its one of the best and can find tons of stuff that regular AV can't.

As for bookmarks, if it comes to it there are utilities you can use to back them up. Then uninstall/reinstall IE.

You can also import bookmarks from/to chrome.

Dude, this is an Android forum not a PC forum, what's wrong with you?

You have a virus or some serious malware.

Do a fresh install of windows, problem solved, stop being such cry baby.

Yikes this is a forum for mobile android phones not windows.

Like everyone has suggested use malwarebytes, it is free!

Antivirus software rarely pick up malware.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DroidWareBytes:
While looking for another solution (to another problem) I found your post. The same thing happened to me today on this site.

The problem is not your PC, nor your browser and is not a malware issue either. In fact, it's from a script that is specifically designed to disable the browsers' back button. You see, the back button does not generate any revenue towards pay-per-click and/or similar schemes. Click-throughs, however, will...

Chances are that one of the page ads loaded the script (usually java) and set a cookie as well (to prevent one from replicating the problem).

Closing the browser window is about the only way to get around it. Holding the pull-down for the back-button only shows numerous versions of the same page.

Other browsers have plugins that can prevent the script from running in the first place and/or block the ads entirely.

If it keeps happening then you should contact one of the Forum Mods.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Maybe you should've read a bit closer on this one. It is only happening to him on this site.

Can't delete or move unless we happen upon it (like I just did) or you report it. Not like we have filters that send us PMs whenever someone types Delete or Move. Doesn't work that way, fellas. Sorry

**************

At OP, if you are still having problems with the site, got to the main XDA page and flag an admin to check out your issues. Plus you could search there and if no results pop up or no one else is having the issue, there error could be between the chair and keyboard. If you want this to remain open, it is your choice but you will have better luck in the main XDA section, rather than the SGS3 section.

Shoot me a PM if you want it closed. If no PM by morning my time, then it is gone.

Well for those that want the OFFICIAL CM10 boot animation to stay while flashing newest nightlies I have made a CWM Zip file to flash it into the data/local folder so it doesn't get wiped each nightly.

I know once CM10 is merged for the I777 and the I9100 we will have the OFFICIAL already installed. This just let's them stay between nightlies which is helpful if you used themed colored versions found below.

Many versions, STOCK CM10 Blue-ish Color, Red Themed, Grey Themed, Purple Themed, White BACKGROUND/Grey Inverted THEMED, Orange Themed, Bright Green, Deep Red, Yellow,

Also as stated if ANYONE wants a new colored version not listed please shoot me a pm or list it here and I can make it for you.

If you can tell I have two versions of red. One is a lighter version and the other is a darker deeper red color. These are all the boot animations I created back in the middle of August 2012.

I am going to make another color or two JUST BECAUSE. Hopefully they don't get stolen. Look later tonight for a new color.

This "how to" will explain the process of Decompiling and Recompiling SystemUI.apk for ICS with apkmanager.

These instructions are assuming you have already installed ApkManager.

you need to decompile Framework-res first. And if you have that step done and ur still getting those errors, make sure u have Android SDK installed as well and everything is up to date.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
You may need to install com.htc.resources.apk as a framework file

Copy com.htc.resources.apk into the "other" directory in your Apk Manager folder

Then open a command prompt window and cd to the "other" directory

Enter this command:

apktool if com.htc.resources.apk

Then, try decompiling again

It's hard to disagree with that opinion. It DOES seem the likely but (i might be wrong) seeing how it continued with trying to decompile, it is very hard to determine the cause. Idk though. You could also be right.

I dont decompile framwerk-res.apk before i decompile SystemUI.apk and it compiles and decompiles correctly
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
probably because you decompiled Framework once before and never recompiled, so now the SystemUI is not giving you any trouble. correct me if im wrong though.
[HTC Rezound] conadg:
i read something about decompiling both systemUI and htc.com.resources when you first set up apktool but i never decompiled framework or htc.com just did the apktool if Framework-res.apk and apktool if htc.com...... then again i smoke so much maybe i did decompile it before lol
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
Performing the "apktool if ...." command installs the framework so there was no need to decompile the framework-res.apk.
[HTC Rezound] Ends:
I place framwork-res and systemui in correct folder and it spits out errors while trying to decompile framwork-res. I'm trying to mode my systemUI of course. I read a totu for apktool and it doesnt require the framework-res. wht does apkmanager? Using apktool I can decompile systemui.apk but it wont recompile to save my life.

as gr8nole said above, "Performing the "apktool if ...." command installs the framework so there was no need to decompile the framework-res.apk".if you have Decompiled Framework once before and have not ever recompiled it, then decompiling it again wouldnt make sense. so that might explain your framework error. however with the SystemUI, do not try to decompile a modded version. grab thee original. also, from looking at your Log, you seem to be signing the Framework apk and i dont believe you are supposed to sign it. and that may be causing your errors decompiling framework.

well it looks to me that you dont have adb installed because if you typed "adb devices" in command prompt, you'd get this error "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" and i am seeing that error in your Log.

what you need to be able to use APKManger Properly is,

You dont need to decompile framework-res in order to decompile other apks... you just have to make sure you type apktool if framework-res.apk and apktool if com.htc.resources.apk *Make sure both those apk's are in the apktool folder before doing those comands*

And its fine for your output apk to be much smaller than the original because apktool compresses the apk... its completely fine
