Ubuntu Problems

So right now at the top of certain website pages I get this 404 error and below that is nginx/1.4.6 ubuntu. Now here is what gets me, i do not have ubuntu installed or running in any way shape or form, i run windows a completely different os than ubuntu, so then why is this popping up. 9 times out of ten when i open certain websites and i click anywheres on the page a new tab opens up the sometimes back to the page i was just viewing but in many cases it opens up to something i have no interest in or in the last case, opened it up to some scam page, so far nothing has shown up as far as viruses on my computer and only certain websites seems to do this. Is there some way to prevent the "links" like these from appearing anymore. As far as i can tell the entire page has an invisible link and when i click anywheres on it it opens a new tab. As far as i know I do not have a virus and it's pretty clear without running a scan that i do not have a virus and that the issue is the site is comprimesed

Note that im only listing saying this all in one go simply because i believe the issues are related somehow.

 

It might well be the specific websites you are going to that run on a Linux server. But without knowing the specific websites we can't test them ourselves.
Without running a full system scan with up to date definitions of MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware it's impossible to rule out malware. In which case going to the Malware Forum here on Majorgeeks so a trained expert can help might be worth doing if only to rule out malware.
If you need to return to this thread we will need to know which Windows OS you have, and what the specific websites are.

 

I'm fairly certain that it isn't malware on my computer, that fact remains that only certain sites seem to do this, and i doubt malware would be that picky as to what sites it happens to do this on. Plus i've run multiple scans before when this has happened. I will note that pages i've been to recently don't do this either.

 

What are the websites.
What OS on the system in question.

 

a couple of video sites called justanimedubbed and justdubs in particualar. The one with justdubs seems to create duplicate tabs of the one i'm on and going back to a previous page doesn't seems to duplicate the ubuntu 404 the entire page not just links and videos seems bugged. On justanimedubbed it's usually the videos themselves that seem to link to bad sites.

 

1. I don't get any of those issues looking at those sites with Firefox, IE, Edge or Chrome
2. You never said what OS is on your system.
So pay better attention in replying here when asked for specific information, and now go to the Majorgeeks malware forum to make sure your system really is malware free.

 

FWIW...
Both sites work fine for me with Firefox and IE.
And both sites have a Detection ratio: 0/68 as per VirusTotal.

 

Oh you were referring to my computer I was thinking how does he expect me to know what os the sites are running on. I use win 10 and ice dragon whcich is a browser based offf of firefox. It's essentially firefox with a new skin, and it shares most if not all off it's data with firefox.

 

Strange because those are the only two sites so far I seem to have this problem with.

 

Looks like it's icedragon that's the problem, but it never had this issue before, so I wonder if it would be possible to figure out what's causing the issue. It's a lot like firefox, and can run many of the same addons meant for firefox, simply because of how similar it is. I'm certain we can figure this out. I knew it couldn't of been malware, the problem was limited to only a couple of sites, which isn't normally how malware operates.

 

That's why you should have tested other browsers at the very beginning. You would have had a first troubleshooting answer right away.
I tested Comodo's Ice-dragon early on in it's life and didn't like it.

 

I think i spoke a little too soon when i said that, about a few pages of browsing and firefox was pretty much doing the same thing. On both sites. I tested google chrome as well, and like firefox initially didn't do it, but after a few pages same thing. I'm beginning to wonder what exactly could be causing it, because it's only those two sites that are having any issues. I'm certain it's not malware now, cause I use my browsers equally, so they all would've been affected, but initially they weren't doing it. It also isn't like malware to only affect a couple a sites, if anything the problem would occur on every site visited even search engines, but so far I've only seen it with those two sites.

 

I've just tested multiple pages on both those websites with Firefox (the full latest version), Opera, IE, Edge and Chrome. No problems at all.
So I think you are left with posting the Read & Run Me First Malware Removal logs to a trained expert on the Specialist MG Malware Forum (not the public one) in order to properly rule out Malware.
The choice of doing that is with you, if you don't there is not much else anyone can do.

 

Is it possible it's popunders that are causing this? If so how does one block it. It could go a llong way to explaining the weird 404 ubuntu error as well since fulscreen popunders do exist. I just recently found out about them. In fact according to multiple individuals popup blockers don't stop them.

 

If you have pop ups blocked in all web browsers, then it comes down to the same answer. Run the malware removal guide already linked to.

 

But according to several posts i've read pop up blockers may not always catch pop unders. If this is true it would explain why only these two sites seem to be having any kind of trouble may i ask what pop up blocker you use? At the very least it wouldn't hurt to try a different pop up blocker.

 

See if uBlock origin can block them in Firefox.

If not there's adware in your browser.

 

The system isn't Linux - re-read the thread and see post #8

 

The problem is on the Server end and not your computer or browser.

https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...ing-404-on-all-sites-except-just-after-reboot

 

They don't appear on any of those sites in 5 different web browsers on any of 3 systems I've tried.

 

Let's just clarify something for the OP:

1. http://justdubs.org/ - opens fine in any of 5 web browsers with no references to Ubunto or Linux
2. http://justdubs.tv/ is offline and returns a 404 with no reference to Linux
3. http://www.justanimedubbed.tv/ - opens fine in any of 5 web browsers with no references to Ubunto or Linux

The problem seen by the OP is not even remotely to do with the servers.
That is why the OP needs to actually follow the clear advice given to run the Malware logs and post a new thread with them, not as they have done by posting a thread with no logs. The OP needs to start paying more careful attention.

 

FWIW...
All 3 sites in post # 22 open in Internet Explorer 9 which is outdated and unsupported.

 

Do as suggested in the Malware Forum - Reset (Refresh) Firefox using this guide:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

If it doesn't solve the problem you will need to do the Malware steps required.

 

I understand that you think it's malware but if it was malware than wouldn't it be affecting every site i visit rather than those two sites? The problem doesn't seem like something malware would do you're focusing on the worst possible scenario not all possible scenarios. How can we be sure it isn't the browsers themselves that are having problems, problems that aren't caused by malware but simply due to other reasons. I have after all been using these three browsers for a long time. Perhaps they just need some kind of maintenance or something. I dunno why you fixating on the possibility that it's malware and not trying to figure out if is something else. Just to prove my point i used my old iexplorer and guess what it had no problems accessing the sites. If it truly was malware it would have affected iexplorer as well.

I didn't need to check iexplorer to know it wasn't malware because whatever is the problem wasn't acting like malware, but i certainly couldn't convince you that it wasn't malware without trying to use iexplorer. Whatever the problem is it is only affecting google,firefox, and icedragon which i use quite a bit.

 

I know i have a problem on my computer but the problem isn't malware, because the problem doesn't act like malware. i dunno why max can't see that. I've stated multiple times that those are the only two sites im having problems with if it was malware then the problem would be with every site. Plus anti malware hasn't picked anything up either. He's too fixated on the malware end of things, and not trying to explore other possibilities. I even went to try them on iexplorer and guess what no problems what so ever. More proof that it isn't malware because if it was then surely iexplorer would have been affected. Tbh i'm tired of trying to convince everyone it isn't malware, so if no other solutions turn up outside of it's malware then i'll try to find my answer elsewhere.

 

You don't know that and your refusal to simply post the logs in the Malware Forum thread you yourself posted is just infantile and pig headed.
Why you expect anyone to help you further beggars belief.

 

Why do i think it isn't malware because my internet explorer which came with my computer isn't having the same problems that google firefox and icedragon are with those two sites. Since i don't use it often it probably is something else not malware. If it was malware all my browser would be affected and every site i visit would be giving me the same problem, not just one or two. Iexplorer isn't giving me this problem so the issue has something to do with the three browser that i most frequently use.

You aren't trying any other possibilities and i can't think of what it could be but it's clear as day to me that this isn't malware since it doesn't act like malware. I guess this means i'll be finding my answers elsewhere then since you seem to be focusing on the malware angle and not that looking for any other alternatives.
