MTNL Broadband is injecting ads on your computer pretending it's a feature

[Navjot Singh]

This is a new low. Are you sure it is Adphonso's script and not anything else?

Yes it is adphonso, this morning around 10 AM.
It first loaded 208.94.243.40 and then displayed this ad on a blank page. You can see that google.com was not loaded. Next I refreshed the page using F5 and then actual google.com was loaded.
I did not check the code, but next time it does this I will check the code too.
I do not use adblock in Chrome (or any other extension). I have them installed in Firefox.

MTNL Broadband is implanting Adphonso power-driven malware on all customer plans - posted in MTNL Broadband: I have MTNL ADSL broadband in Delhi.

 

[coming soon]

a VPN would fix all the problems ?

so far mtnl has proved to be the best ISP for me , not much downtime and complaints are usually solved quickly.
so should I get a VPN or try tikona the user experiences are really horrible specially getting rid of them is the hardest part

Now they have started to show advertisements of their own.


I have set homepage to https://google.com but it is still intercepting and showing the ads.

Can not be! See the image, its not https... just plain non-https google.

Ok I checked again, I had set it to http://
But for some reason, it still opens the https:// google site. Perhaps because I am logged in to google account.

Google does not offer HTTP to anyone these days. It's SSL for everyone from what I know.

I think based on what he said, he set it to http, which means, there may be option in google somewhere if user wants http instead of https.
