Read it full here : Asianet(ISP) injecting javascript code(ads) in every webpage requested by the customer
Here asianet(ISP) is injecting a javascript code into a website without the permission of the website owner and that’s against law.
This is the piece of code they are inserting
I have informed the authorities about this, i don’t know whether they will take take any action against it or not.
Anyway here’s a small tip on how to prevent the ad from appearing on the webpages.
In windows:
Edit the file "C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"
and add the following line at the bottom of the file –
127.0.0.1 streamride.net ui.streamride.net
In Linux:
Edit the file "/etc/hosts/"
and add the same line to bottom of the file.
127.0.0.1 streamride.net ui.streamride.net Now clear your browser cache or just shift+refresh a page.
Dear Dipin,

Thanks for the tip. I’m in Kolkata. My ISP is a cable operator Tirupathi Internet that gets bandwidth from a local bandwidth wholesaler.
Thanks. Your method worked out great. and as for the people who can’t get this method to work, please follow what it says. CLEAR THE CACHE AFTER YOU PASTE THE LINE at the end of the file. And yes, just to be sure, i cleared the cookies as well.
Thanks again.
Please clear browser cache, and then try.
Not working for me. Please help. Done everything as said.
Clear the browser cache and then try.
This is a serious issue and we should not let them on with that. The hostfile trick will work, but it is not a solution. It is a question of customer right.
We need to let them know our protest and if nothing works, we need to find a better ISP. There are lot of ISPs around and let them teach a lesson. People, don’t just get satisfied with the hostfile trick, express your protest and whoever have access to a better ISP, please start cancelling your accounts.
Please be aware that we are paying customers and they have no rights to push the ads on someone else’s content. You know how Google is not putting ads on news / image results. Asianet can’t put ads on someone elses site, especially when we are paying for the ISP service. This is against all applicable laws and they need to taught a lesson.
People, call up the corporate office, your local asianet office, send compaints via email and protest in every way possible.
Hi,
I pasted the line 127.0.0.1 streamride.net ui.streamride.net in hosts, but still the ad is coming. I am using chrome.
it already had a line at its end called 127.0.0.1 localhost.
Please help me regarding this.
Thanks a ton .. worked like a charm ….
Thanks for this post. I was facing the same problem. My ISP is Connect(Panchkula). Thinking this as a virus or adware I was trying all kinds of security software but obviously they did not help 🙂
Thanks. It helped me to remove it
..and also because Asianet itself, when accused (by me):
1) denied;
2) admitted but said it was perfectly legal;
3) faced with a possible class action in front of a Court, said they needed to talk with their lawyers to analyze possible legal issues (“we’ll let you know).
Thanks for the post. I was not able to access the pages of an online course and was baffled. Your post helped me to zero in on the problem. The script inserted by Asianet is causing the problem. Have mailed to them.
just use add blocker plus in your browser. and add will be removed.
The ISPs might be using the same service or softwares internally for providing their services. The javascript is been inserted by that service/software, with the knowledge of the ISPs. So, its the ISPs whom it should be blamed for.

Hi Dipin,
thanks for sharing this.
Just one question: how do you know it’s the provider the culprit?
And, in this case, asianet?
I am asking because this problem is spreading around the world, there have been many cases in Europe and, yes, they were injected by the local providers.
yes , still they displaying ads . I told them to remove ads from account .
Are they still showing???
I was also facing the same problem !
I never thought that it would be the ISP doing this injection !!!
I’ve mailed them yesterday, asking about this and till now they haven’t replied to my mail !
