Bug Report Forums

I turned my adblocker off for flight rising, and since then, every once in a while while loading a page, once the ad loads I get redirected to a page that tries to install malware onto my machine. Obviously, I know better than to download whatever it points me at, but it's still concerning that your ad banner is doing this because I know that there may be some users who don't know not to trust the redirects.

I use the latest version of Chrome, and I did re-enable the adblocker in able to prevent these malicious scripts from affecting my gameplay. I can't say for certain which ads are doing it, though, since it sends me to a new page as soon as the ad loads and when I go back it loads a new one.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum! I wasn't quite sure where to put this.

I've been redirected by a few things as well on my browser (currently Firefox, formerly Adblock Chrome), and I'm really considering switching back to it. :/ This happened yesterday for me as well.

the best thing I could suggest currently is try to possibly nail what ad is possibly causing this if it is an ad and report it to mods using the contact us page. Also just to be safe run some virus and malware scans just in case. I personally have not had this happen as i also use ad block and chrome so ad redirection when adblock is active is odd.

Misbehaving Ads should be reported to this thread: Advertising Report Thread ! Also, it doesn't hurt to run a malware scan either, as was suggested in the post before! ♥
