Important Note – Clear Your Cookies and Browser Cache Frequently…

A rather long and complex issue has surfaced that CTH has specific knowledge of.

It’s a bigger issue than appears on the surface.  However, to avoid a lengthy distraction -which will consume unnecessary energy- the short version is:

Until the election is over, if you travel the internet into news sites, political sites, and content containing political discussion therein, clear your browser and cache frequently throughout the day.

SHORT SUMMARY:  We have become aware there is a specific, intentional and ongoing “malvertising” effort.  That is, hidden and targeted malware embedded within political advertising (by Team Clinton) that is intended to disrupt targeted users based on their web browsing history.

If you have seen a Clinton ad anywhere you are probably a ‘carrier‘.  It doesn’t take any action on your part to gain the malware virus other than to be on a site where the malvertising is active. Once you carry the malware it travels with you in an effort to disrupt your navigation on targeted web sites/web pages.

CTH is one of the targeted sites, I’m sure there are many more, including popular social media platforms.  It would not surprise me to discover the majority of Pro-Trump sites are the primary targets. (More on that at another date/time).

If you are having navigation issues you have probably been exposed.  Word Press, the platform we use, estimates that 20% of CTH readers are carriers (it’s probably much more).  However, the good news is (hopefully) you can rid yourself of the issue by deleting your cache and/or cookies frequently.

If you are having site navigation issues, try clearing your browser history, cookies and especially the cache.

Remember, there are trillions of dollars at stake.  There is nothing the opposition will not do to retain power.  Truth and sunlight is a risk.

It happened to me.

When I clicked on "Latest Posts", I was redirected to a meaningless site.

Once I cleared the cache, all was well

I’m having a problem with FR for a while now. I can only see article headlines and when I go to the page to change it, I just get a bunch of blank two-tone bars. at the top of the screen that look like they are supposed to be buttons or something.

That happens to me all the time when I go to drudge. It’s a shame that you have these Mel were people re-directing you to apps and other activities

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

CCleaner

Both free, both essential !

[Mr. K]

ALL FREEPERS SHOULD INSTALL ALL THREE OF ThE FOLLOWING

1) Avast Anti-vurus

2) MalwareBytes

1) CCleaner

I can't make it any easier for you. Install them, learn how to use them, and scan and clean your system regularly

If you don't do that you are too stupid to surf the internet and please stop because you are probably helping to infect others.

I use bleach bit myself.

I clear my cache a few times each day and I also do a disk clean up.

Every major browser has a configuration setting to clear your history and cache when you close the browser. If you’re not using it, you’re leaving your information out there for anyone to gather.

This is my office in my home, in a secret room "beneath" the basement. The only allowable IP address is www.freerepublic.com. I have written my own browser in C# using the .NET class library, speak only Navajo, and have a self destruct button in case I'm found out. Beyond that, I'm a pretty regular guy ...

That is 100% drivel. The effect is that anyone who sees a browser hiccup of any sort will clear cache and cookies and then be ok and then believe the drivel. Sometimes clearing cache does help. But I haven't cleared cache or cookies since maybe last summer or late spring. I use Safari on the Mac, and I avoid all click bait which is a good portion of what we see here these days.

In short, people are trying to waste your time, and other people fall for it.

I’ve been clearing my cache recently to clear up navigation problems. I was suspecting something like this was going on.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Twice a day, I do.

Is that an acoustic coupler I see?

thx

I'm roaring with laughter that a site that uses WordPress is lecturing people on computer security. This ranks up there with Facebook pages whining about government surveillance.
