Well I just got a pop UP that locked the screen with a "chat with Emma" prompt and an OK button. Had to ctrl/alt/delete and end browsing session. And now have a pop UNDER ad with voluptuous cartoon women and "waiting for you to make us happy" prompt. At least it was easily closed.

Anyway, thanks ADMIN for giving us a week without the ads to discuss the new album. Guess nothing good lasts forever and it's time to say farewell to this site before I accidentally click on something and download spyware, a virus or something worse. :(

+1. I saw no popup or popunder but my keyboard reacted strangely all of a sudden a few minutes ago, I could no longer select, copy and paste some text for example, when I tried to open a new Mozilla window "it" opened a dozen ones in 1/10th sec. then I got a new window from Mozilla telling me that it was damaged and asked me to "click here" to modify my hard disk :eek: I then tried to reboot my computer and it wouldn't... Too many strange and dangerous things are hapening because of this board so bye-bye!

I don't think I've ever seen Malwarebytes premium? That is something I'll definitely be looking into. Thanks for the information!

Porn ads should definitely not be appearing, but it would be great if someone would send a screenshot of such an ad (with visible browser address bar).

As for virus alerts - are you sure those are actual alerts from antivirus software and not ads themselves? Ads for certain software look like virus alerts (for example Mackeeper on Mac).

I can not speak for everbody, but, the screenshot I provided a couple of pages back from Avast, was genuine and from Avast.

I've got the pop-ups back since they were switched back on, but, so far touch wood, nothing that has tripped my anti virus. (and very easily closed)

Thank you JTAdmin for listening and trying a different ad provider.

I'm not sure that it is sold anymore. I bought this years ago and I have a lifetime license. These days they only rent you the software for a year at a time..

Still getting porn ads incidentally, the latest one had the URL http://www.discreetflirtclub.com/slp...=s6e1-12593-25

Darn! And now I'm having trouble ever posting here :rolleyes:

Seems the problems are back again, for the past 2 weeks, whenever I have logged into the site, or even just opened the page prior to loging in, My Avast Anti Virus goes beserk, and throws up a message saying "We've safely aborted connection to Coinhive.com because it is infected with JS:Miner-C (Trj).

This only comes up when I browse onto this site.

The popunders are not a major problem, as they can be closed easily, but the above is annoying as avasts warning is Loud! Can someone please look into this, as I assume it's a page that tries to open alongside, or underneath DC.

EDIT - Will try to capture a screenshot but popup from avast doesn't stay on screen long enough for me to capture it at mo!

Instead of having to close 2 notifications I now have to close 6 or 8 notifications from Malwarebytes (per click). The site is almost unusable - which I guess is the point.
