From what I read, it's recommended to avoid using the Safari browser and iOS devices for now. Internet Explorer is said to be immune to these "super cookies" since it doesn't offer the support.

For the record, I use Safari and an iPad for this site, and I haven't been having these issues, bar the redirect I had about a month ago.

@Neko_Rukiafan great, hopefully that's the end of it!

Update: Nope. The problem is still occurring on PC browsers, but it has been resolved on the Wii U browser.

@Neko_Rukiafan if it's working fine on Wii U that suggests the problem is with your PC browser. You should clear your cache, if that doesn't resolve it then perhaps your PC is infected - apparently there is malware that redirects to the same URL as the bad ads earlier this week.

I haven't seen the issue in a few days on my PC.

It's been almost a week since I saw any, but today they're coming more frequently than ever.

Dang, they're attacking pushsqaure in force now. I can't even use it with Chrome right now. It takes me to some pace call lemon-something and has something about a TV show. I now it's not your fault, or something you can fix though. And for those curious, I did a full virus scan when this began (might do another though), and I just cleared out all my cookies.

Oh, I thought that was just me. Phew...
Yeah, it's stopped for a few days now. For this site at least; don't know about the other ones that also suffered.

Just after my earlier comment, it became impossible to visit any nlife page. Every attempt was redirected, and not to the same website either. I have adblock on safari now.

I managed to grab the URLs of two redirects that just happened today. The first one occurred when I clicked the More Discussion link on the front page. The second redirect happened after this page loaded. I'm on an iPad, and both redirects sent me out of Safari and into the App Store. The first time, I closed out before I saw what app was being advertised. The second time, Madden NFL Mobile (by EA) was the advertised app. Hopes this helps!

EDIT: Following both links sent me to the same place, so that answers what the first redirect did!

I cannot use the site on WP7 mobile. It redirects to a video that cannot play every 5 seconds.

That's the one (softwareupdaterlp.com) that happened to me several times, although not in the last couple of days. when I've trying to get a screen shot of it. I've run a full scan of my PC using Norton and I don't have viruses. I don't have any of the extensions or programs indicated in guides to removing that adware, and I've only had it redirect there from NL. Googling that domain shows lots of websites saying you have a virus, but they all want you to download their software to "clean" your PC - I'd bet most, if not all, of those sites are installing malware or adware when you download their "cleaner."
