Malware? - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

I tried visiting TBH on my phone (Android) this morning and it takes me instead to a **** site. I don't do **** so I don't know how this problem came about. I tried doing a search online and kept suggestions of malware. Is that a thing on the phone? I guess I'm naive but I thought that was just computers. How do I fix this? Any suggestions?

ctom87 · 05-15-2022, 10:25 AM

definitely took me to a corn with a P site and also displayed russian. I took a screen shot...

ctom87 · 05-15-2022, 10:26 AM

Mods - It did not replicate on desktop, only on phone. I have not tried Tapatalk.

ctom87 · 05-15-2022, 10:28 AM

Assuming this is Russian...I have no clue.

Bucknaked · 05-15-2022, 10:35 AM

It seems like androids are getting attacked! Apple has the best security

SharpEnd · 05-15-2022, 10:39 AM

So it must be the google AMP page version only? Using mobile Brave browser, requesting either the desktop or mobile site, it loads fine here.

SharpEnd · 05-15-2022, 10:40 AM

Try clearing cache and cookies on your mobile browser, and turning off javascript temporarily if you can, and see if it loads.

I'm on my android phone using Tapatalk and haven't had any issues. I have also ran Norton anti-virus from day one. Do you have anti-virus software on your phone?

It works fine on tapatalk. But if you Google search it or open up chrome and try then it doesn't work.

I just tried it by searching Duck Duck Go and got the Russian site.

It's weird, if I just use Google I get all kinds of different pages, no Russian ones. If I open up chrome and search the I get a dirty site.

Drycreek3189 · 05-15-2022, 11:05 AM

No problem on my IPad.

Slick8 · 05-15-2022, 11:09 AM

I've had the same issue while using the browser on the green screen on my phone. Tapatalk worked fine on my droid.

I couldn't tell what type of site it was and backed out immediately as it looked sketchy.

donpablo · 05-15-2022, 08:26 PM

So I cleared cache and disabled java script and can not get to TBH on my phone. Does that mean I have to leave java script off permanently?

Electrican · 05-15-2022, 08:28 PM

Same here with mine. Takes me to some videos.

Mary · 05-15-2022, 08:37 PM

Hi all… we are aware and hoping to have it fixed soon.

Medina19 · 05-15-2022, 08:46 PM

Turn off javascript in chrome browser it is not a permanent fix but will work for time being

cwill · 05-15-2022, 09:10 PM

Same thing happened with my phone today. Any threat that it could have given us some sort of virus?

rolylane6 · 05-15-2022, 09:15 PM

I only use tapatalk to access TBH and haven't had any issues with redirects or access. I am having a problem with tapatalk not updating my "subscribed" threads tab. Anyone else have this problem? I uninstalled and reinstalled the App but still no help.

Is it fixed? With javelin disabled I can't see videos and links.

justletmein · 05-16-2022, 09:10 AM

Man I beat my head against the wall trying to fix my phone yesterday, LOL... Same issue, Russian hijack on the phone with any browser that I use but it's fine on the computer.

thanks for the fix,mine started to go to corn (p) sights sunday am.

SabineHunter · 05-16-2022, 10:09 AM

Yep, same here starting yesterday. Phone and tablet, no go. desktop is fine.

I thought maybe TBH got a new sponsor.

COACH_EM_UP · 05-16-2022, 10:48 AM

Still not working on my android, no matter which internet browser I choose. Works fine on the computer though.

Mods, any updates as to why the site does not work on mobile devices?

Same issue on my android

muzzlebrake · 05-16-2022, 04:39 PM

Fixed my android. Had to install Google Chrome, clear cache and reboot. Norton 360 would not fix it with the original Google app.

Yeah thats what I posted earlier. Mine is doing the same. As I go thru them tho, some do have new posts I haven't read but they're random.

Was hoping to get a update on fixing the problem by the powers to be.
Know they are working on it. If I use desktop version on my phone it works fine but messes up all of other sites. Waiting on a update from the tbh clan.
