Title: How to get rid of http redirects to suspicious sites
Post by: jraju on November 03, 2018, 05:52:40 am: Hi, whenever i click the link in ccleaner, for eg download, imgburn, download , and speedtest ookla site when pres using GO button, i am redirected to naganoadigei.com :angry:to ultimate fake flipkart site, to login, or install java in fake java site,or flash player in fake adobe sites.
first of all, i want to know, whether the redirects are allowed by the site owners of these sites using their own programs to redirect to those sites or
is it because of third rogue party doing something in these genuine sites or
is it because of the Isp allowing those things voluntarily. pl let me know and also give me solution to completely get rid of this .
sometimes, it goes to the site one time or sometimes two times and the third click ultimately goes to the correct page of download or seeing the speed results.
may i have your views on this and solutions

You auto get the 14 day premium trial which can be ended by clicking on Settings/Account Details and disable it.

Is this you posting in this thread, rajujayaraman? seems to be going nowhere in terms of a satisfactory response from BSNL.

So there'll be no fix other than changing ISPs ?

Pretty much what friends in India have told me, yes.

HTTPS Everywhere https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere may help and or a hosts file/ adblocker to block the redirect locations.

But i also had doubt above rogue players in the middle .
as a temp solution i have installed google chrome with add on skip redirect and alo remove redirect everywhere. that temporarily fixed the matter.
Instead of adblocker, i use these two add ons . I sincerely feel it is kind of http hijacking with some scripts. Nowadays firefox is lacking something secure browsing.
