I entered a web site from my LG G2 and i took a warning on screen in web browser. (not chrome, other official web browser called "internet") It says: "Warning. G2 has infected. Install an antivirus from Google Play" and there was OK button on warning and when i clicked OK it sent me to 360 Total Securty page on Google Play. And also on browser, another web pages opened. (ali.express was one of them) How can it know my phone is G2? is it possible a web page can know what is my phone model? was it a virus? has my phone infected? Please help thanks..
Yes, it is possible for a website to get information about you, such as your phone type, operating system, browser, browsing history, etc (see Mobile Device Detection).
More than likely - I say this without knowledge of website visited - the website wants you to download their virus scanner without you actually having a virus. This happens all the time on computers as well when you visit a site and get a pop-up that your computer has been infected and to install a specific program, which might ask you to call tech support and cost money.
My advice would be to download one of the top virus scanners in google play (not the one the website suggested) and do a scan. This should alleviate any concerns.
Careful where you click.

I'm an rather experienced web developer and have Plesk Onyx running on my dedicated server. It features 2FA via Google Authenticator. Inside Plesk, I added multiple WordPress-based webpages of mine and friends of mine. All of these WordPress installations are securely installed by Plesk and hardened access to by moving the admin area, globally disabling comments, 2FA, and so on.
Now a few days ago, a friend told me he was seeing massive ads on my webpage. Since the server also yields my company's page, that is perhaps something to take serious - so did I. However, I couldn't reproduce the ads or the pop ups, etc. - at all -, neither on my Windows machines (10 and Server 2016), nor on any mobile or laptop device. Yesterday, I was viewing my webpage with a friend of mine (desktop PC). And all of a sudden, ads are shown up when he clicks links in my WP menu and stuff like this. Very pushy, very much, absolutely... unacceptable.
I introduced myself as rather experienced web developer. However, I don't know how to tackle this. Whether my server was actually hacked or compromised, some WordPress plugin is messing up with ads (however, friend found problems on multiple sites that are not using the same plugins), or whatever. I think Plesk and WP are both strong and shouldn't be compromised that easy. Besides, I didn't notice any further.
How to tackle this?
Did you try Revisium Antivirus to scan your websites? It is available on Plesk extensions. I had a similar issue and Revisium Antivirus found all the files that were infected.
Also, check your friend's PC (web browser) for malware. There is some malware (hidden software) which can run adds or add strange links to your website. So, in that case, there is nothing to do with your server or websites.
I am running a website based on php on a server run by a large host. My goal is very simple. Include link on my site to google search where I dynamically give the search term.
Starting with the url that appears in the address bar, I've narrowed the syntax down to
http://www.google.com/search?q=test
This works when I type it into the address bar. However, when I launch from the server, it redirects to:
www.google.com/webhp...lots of characters
There are references on the web to webhp being related to a virus but I'm pretty sure my host does not have any viruses on its servers.
Does anyone know proper way to launch simple google search from a link? Is a straight link forbidden? I am Willing to use JS to push link to client if necessary (which I use for google maps at Google's recommendation due to usage limits) but want to keep things as simple as possible. This link is just to save people a few clicks.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Simply use the urlencode Method
<?php
echo '<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=', urlencode($userinput), '">';
?>
If you wish to do it with Javascript the answer is here: Encode URL in JavaScript?
Try to track down the "Url Rewriting", I think its a virus you need to remove: http://www.ehow.com/how_8728291_rid-webhp.html
WebHP is a computer virus that automatically sets your homepage to a
fake Google site, known as Google.com/WebHP. This virus will also
randomly open windows or tabs to load this website, as well as
generate pop-ups and fake errors. Also installed with this virus is a
rootkit which can disable your PC's firewall and other methods of
security. If left untreated, the WebHP virus allows hackers to
remotely access your computer and steal personal information, such as
credit card numbers and email passwords.
I'm working on a project for class. To create a website and a website for mobile users. The site is to recongize the type of device/browser accessing the page and send the appropiate form. So if I was to visit the site on IE8 it will direct me to the mainpage for IE8, if I was to access the site with a mobile device it will direct me to the mobile website main page automatically.
Also, I need to design the website for at least two different screen sizes.
I'm coding in HTML5, I do not know the type of server the site will be hosted on. The use of Javascript is extra credited. The project details are to "design a small mobile web site. The web site should be tested on one or more mobile devices. The iPod Touch device will be used as the base for testing."
I know how to do 8/10 of the requirements (except the two mentioned). I looked at W3C and didn't find anything.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Do a Google for:
CSS Browser Detection
JavaScript Browser Detection
Also you should think twice about creating multiple sites - with basically the same content - or creating proper stylesheets that are referred from the same site.
Hope that get's you the other 2 requirements
NOTE: Since this is homework I won't post any links...
I suspect that ServerFault isn't the best place for this question...but aside from that, your question is a little vague. A google search for "designing a mobile website" turns up what looks to be several pages of relevant information. If you first try working with the information in those documents and then come back with specific questions (e.g., "I tried this and it behaved this way instead of the way I expected") you're apt to get better answers.
I am looking for something that will help me learn how to set up my site so that when people go to it there is the regular version and the mobile version. Problem I am having is that most of the sites I see on google are pay sites that help you set that up. Can I just make two versions of my site and load them both on my hosting? Also how does it know when to load the mobile versus the regular? These are the types of things I am looking to learn, any suggestions of places to start?
Please please please make sure you do the following:
Only do a mobile version if it adds value.
If a user requests a deep link from a mobile device, don't redirect to the mobile home page
Allow the user to choose to view the full version
Make sure tablets such as the iPad uses the full version by default
Don't serve WML to the hi-res smartphones such as the iPhone
If your full sized website is unusable on a phone, consider tweaking it to be more suitable (don't print content text too wide).
Modern iPhones and iPads are perfectly capable of handling most full sized websites, there is little need for a mobile version unless it actually improves the user experience. I hate to get redirected to a baby interface that doesn't provide the information I need.
Good examples of mobile versions include:
Google website
Gmail website
Mediocre examples include:
Any blogpress site
Bad examples include
anything that uses WML
Here's Apple's advice on providing mobile versions to the iPad:
Note that the Safari on iPad user
agent string contains the word
"Mobile", but does not contain the
word "iPhone". If you are currently
serving mobile content to any browser
that self-identifies as "Mobile", you
should modify your user agent string
checks to look for iPad and avoid
sending it the wrong version of your
site. The version numbers in this
string are subject to change over time
as new versions of Safari on iPad
become available, so any code that
checks the user agent string should
not rely on version numbers.
Something to look into would be the #mobile css media type, which is used to load a different styles when loading in a mobile device. I am not sure which devices support it, but I imagine it would be most of the popular models. As far as your suggestion, you can certainly host two separate sites, but I would defiantly go through Alex's suggestions before you go through the trouble.
http://www.w3.org/TR/css-mobile/
Alex had some good suggestions, but if you really want to serve up a specific version based on mobile or non-mobile you can take a look at the http header. In some cases the User Agent will give it away, but not always. Check out this link for details: http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/
I am developing a site that is tested only in Firefox and IE. Now I need to make the site accessible from mobile also.
So I need to know whether I need to calculate the time needed to shift the site. Is this created as a new application or the same application is modified?
When accessing stackoverflow.com from my mobile the design is entire changed. How is this done? Is it a separate application?
Thanks
Whether or not you need to create a new application for mobile depends on the site you have. The website at my workplace could not possibly fit on a mobile phone screen (too many frames), but other sites that have a more adjustment-friendly layout might just need a little tweak.
I would test your site on a mobile browser emulator, there are a bunch of them listed on this site.
Also, you might consider switching your firefox's user agent (here) so you can browse popular site's mobile versions, along with the source they used to lay it out.
Usually different CSS templates chosen using UA string matching. My phone has a fairly fully enabled web browser on it, so I get the whole of stackoverflow the same.
Some phone browser may also "mobile optimise" the layout, or in the case of opera mini, it does it on opera's proxy server and then sends modified data to the phone.
Javascript support is more of a problem, expect it to be minimal in most cases, although it is getting better.
