Hey, Admins.....

  1. Isn’t this pm hardware behind a MOD firewall?

    When logged out, the ads run both sides of the o page and top/bottom and constantly change and run vbiudeos, so wouldn’t surprise mine of something in gthere is causing it
     
  2. Get a mac. Burn the pc.

  4. Yes about 2 weeks ago....added to the letterbox ad thing that runs from time to time and I am starting to get miffed!
     
  5. And it’s sorted now?
     
  6. Hmm. I can't show you the details from my work PC, but here's what happened on my home PC...

    Looks like your advert software is routing to unsafe sites.

  10. Mac, what is malware bytes? I cant see any malicious scripts / plugins or anything that will be flagging this. Does that software give any further details?

    I also cant see any other reports anywhere... Anyone else experiencing it?
     
  11. Saw it once, no letter box thing for a week or so
     
  12. Malwarebytes is a genuine security app. They do antivirus and anti-malware software, browser protection, etc.

    I can only assume that the DF site was hosting/linking an advert that someone had flagged up as suspicious over at Malwarebytes and the DF site got blacklisted as a result.

    Or a wizard did it.

  13. Seems another good reason to subscribe? No adverts to cause software issues!

  14. Wipe your computer & reinstall O/S, and all other applications you use. Once every two-years it should be done in my humble opinion. I use kaspersky total security for my 3-computers & has stopped/blocked suspicious web applications from been launched.

    What applications do you have installed Mac on your computer & web-browser?
     
  15. I'll check.

  16. Out of interest @Rob has software been enabled to allow automatic routing to any advert site - safe or otherwise?
    EDIT - never got answered despite tag :thinkingface:

  17. I stopped using malwarebytes because it had too many false positives like this.

    So the MOD are using it? That’s interesting as the pop-up says it is a trail version.
