TOPIC | Malware detected - Adobe Flash
Everytime I swap between the www. and www1. web addresses I get this screen:

f8cd57ba-52e8-4563-8dbb-749b87c0cac0_zpsffd8e6b7.png

My friends have also seen it when using chrome. My firewall, anti virus and malware programs block it from downloading a 'Setup.exe' - but its super annoying!

I don't have this anywhere else on the net - just Flight Rising and it started this morning :(

The same is happening to me when using Chrome. It gives the same message as the above poster and then my firewall tells me it has blocked a Trojan and Malware. This has happened 4 times.
I can access all other sites it only occurs with Flight Rising and this started this morning too! :(
At the moment cannot use Flight Rising on Chrome only through IE.

I can't really see what's going on in the screenshot since it's too small. I should mention that all games on FR are made with HTML5 and not Flash, though if this popup is fake (can't see what the url or anything is in the picture)then that's irrelevant anyway.

It may be malware on your end or it may be a faulty advertisement on FR. I suggest for the time being use an adblocker to see if that may help narrow down the problem.

You may also want to post about this problem here, in the advertising report thread. Good luck!

@Zakarya

This has happened to me and a few others too, we've posted on this thread.

I'm also using Chrome, and it's only happening for this website.

I've downloaded AdBlock, and it's completely solved the problem - I intend to remove it when the issue is resolved.

ping PARLAH not pariah.
Yeah, I did not know about pinging before I made my 'clever' username.
@PARlAH - ahh thank you for the tip! I will have to download it as I can't get anything done on Chrome :( I thought it would be an advert issue - it's a shame but until FR sorts it out then its tough luck for them I suppose! x

Just wanted to chime in that I've been using this site with chrome for a few weeks now and just this morning (11/1) this started happening for me, too.

I normally use Adblock but I had it turned off for Flight Rising--trying to be a good person and help their ad revenue.

Looks like it and Ghostery are coming back on!

Dittoing this issue --- have been redirected to Java, Flash, and Browser update sites.
Closed out of windows and was fine- but peeved over the frequency of it.

Got the same issue today with Opera warning that the site is blocked due to malware distribution. AVG chimed in at the same time with malware warnings for Setup.exe. I think you've got an ad problem.

Hello. Please report any malicious ads on the advertising report thread. It's where we check and it helps to have all reports consolidated. http://flightrising.com/main.php?board=frd&id=27823&p=mb

No advertisement should ever automatically redirect you anywhere. It is intended that you need to click an ad (intentionally) to be navigated away from the site.
