[quote name="WillowWolfie" date="2019-05-12 04:03:32" ] Oh, wow! I must be really (un)lucky! I've had at least 10 of these ads pop up on different pages around the site, such as my dragon pages, and I'm pretty sure my account isn't old enough to have viewed any page 1 000 000 times. [i]Probably[/i] Malware. It looks like this: [img]https://i.imgur.com/HeevM96.jpg[/img] [/quote] I have also had this as plaguing me on pc and mobile. It shows on both Chrome and Firefox browsers when using the pc. While on mobile it shows on both the side and bottom advertisement bar, sometimes both at the same time.

this is a thing I've never seen before (the overlap of banner ad over the pm sending buttons). occured on destop windows 10 most recent google chrome (ad links to the following when I click on it )) [br] https://www.tuftandneedle.com/mattress/mint/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_adgroup={AdGroupName}&utm_campaign={CampaignName}&d=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgZGZ-aOW4gIVh9tbCh0wMAhQEAEYASAAEgLolfD_BwE [img]https://imgur.com/jxjdTew.png[/img] admittedly this could be due to the pm I was replying to having an image in the message but in case it's based on something weird advertising wise I figured I'd report here (it's google adsense I think as the ad server)

I saw an ad from Ebay this morning of a graphic tee with text related to arguments about gun ownership. I don't really care about the weird things they try to show me on other websites (sometimes they tap into my search history, but since I don't frequent Ebay, it seems randomly generated most of the time), but it seems like the kind of subject this website would not want anything to do with.

I've been having an issue for the past 2 days where something's hijacking FR and throwing up a "[something] update needed, download now!" screen - it covers the whole screen (can't see FR at all) + popup window.

I'm assuming it's a malicious ad. It never happens while I'm watching, so I don't have info on what ads were showing at the time. Twice has happened while sitting on Baldwins Brew, once on the home page. I've just auto-freaked and snap-shut the whole window instead of screenshotting, I'll update if I remember to catch it.

Microsoft Edge browser (hey, it works and means I don't have to remember to whitelist individual sites)

Yeah, they sure are enjoying that sweet sweet malware money. It must pay REALLY well.

I'm not sure which ad is doing it, but Noscript keeps giving me a warning everytime I load FR:

This is the only website I don't have adblock on, and I was redirected multiple times. Gotten this one twice and also one of the classic noise-making "YOUR PC IS INFECTED" ads. Virus scans show my PC is clean. [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/577337572427169793/583090189992460322/unknown.png[/img] They've all followed the typical sketchy format of fake "your pc is infected" or "update McAfee".
