Malicious (?) ad redirect circumventing Adblock.

It's been noted on other websites, operating systems, and browsers, but there's a slew of ads that that cause an automatic redirect to lemode-mgz.com, which occasionally is an ad for Good Housekeeping. Not sure if this is something that AdBlock can actually stop. More specifically:

Ad plays on website. Usually it's not the same one (well, not that I can remember seeing the same one, or even being on the page long enough).
Ad redirects to lemode-mgz.com, not the exact website, but usually with some sort of redirect string on the end.
Ad forcibly keeps the browser on that page, pressing back usually does nothing other than reloading the page.

Again, not sure if this is the kind of thing that AdBlock was designed to stop, but just a side note.

After turning the slider pretty far up, it seems to have fixed the problem (for now).

Hi Archalieus,

Can you please provide a link to a page that redirects you to this ad?

The debug info from AdBlock button -> Options -> SUPPORT -> "Have our team requested some debug info?" might also be helpful, so it'd be great if you could attach that as well.

Hi Archalieus,

Apologies for the super late reply! We're mostly volunteers or part-timers here at AdBlock support, and we're still digging out from under a ton of backlogged requests.

In the meantime, our developers have squashed a bunch of bugs and released a couple of updates. Please make sure that AdBlock is up-to-date (the current version is 2.35), and that you've installed all the latest updates for your browser.

If you are still experiencing this issue after updating everything, please reply to this discussion and we'll get back to you as quickly as possible!
