    Default Yahoo Redirecting To Spam Sites

    Anyone else having issues with yahoo redirecting to spam sites after a page sits idle for a bit?

    I hope they get it fixed soon because Yahoo fantasy sports isn't blocked at my work but the spam sites are so it comes up every time it happens and I don't want to start getting shit on by out IT department
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Not sure if this is the same for you but I had this problem on my Android Chrome browser. It wasn't the site but rather some kind of adware, not sure how it got on my phone but its a common and difficult problem. Adblock Plus actually does an app for Android, but you have to get it from their website directly. It stopped the redirects.

    Pretty sure it was 8802526626 and you're just getting ahead of yourself.

    I still don't have anything against Yahoo as a simple format. Haven't had any ad problems though. Do you have an adblocker?

    Mine has been on Chrome on my computer. Don't usually have a problem with ads but for whatever reason these redirects seem to happen frequently the last week or so
