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:

ajf33 10-22-2017 12:46 PM

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.

symbeline 10-28-2017 11:27 PM

I just renewed my paid subscription and I still get ads :confused:

In fact, I think I'm not even accessing as a "premium" user

Who checks this?

Sorry, should be fixed now, somehow the subscription status was inactive despite the expiry date being in 2018. I've added one additional month to the subscription due to this issue.

The issues with malware warnings should be fixed as well. And maybe with them the problematic ads.

trevrox 12-03-2017 08:25 PM

There are wayyyyyyy too many ads on this site. Someone needs to clean this up

and 2 more this morning :(

ajf33 02-22-2018 09:16 AM

Once again every turn of page is triping my antivirus, sometimes 2 or 3 times on the same page! I don't know if you've switched to a new ads srver, because this has only arisen since yesterday, but once more the site is becoming unusable, as I had 32 virus alerts whilst trying to read the thread for last nights show (on an 8 page thread!)

Can't provide screenshots right now, but for example - zpzsdmpvqudhsv.com is infected with url:mal, is one of the many warnings I've had from Avast this morning.

ecvladelayk.com is infected with url:mal being another.

EDIT - seems to be the same two pages repeatedly trying to load, and being blocked by my antivirus, as 32 times in an 8 page thread (and 10 whilst trying to type this message!) means theres something about those sites that antivirus don't like!

ajf33 02-25-2018 09:52 AM

Another day another bad page - ligabklr.com infected with url:mal. Can we please sort this out, as it's become impossible to navigate the site with my antivirus going berserk each time i turn the page!

(Jimmy) 02-26-2018 08:07 PM

I don't get ads. I'm pretty much an inactive noob who mosty just reads. But I never see any ads.

(Jimmy) 02-26-2018 08:18 PM

I've been using this for years...

http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm


Download hosts.zip, extract the files, open 'hosts' folder containing extracted files, right-click on mvps.bat and select 'run as administrator', then a blue dialogue box will open. Press any key, then all of the bad connections are blocked forever. Update once in a while by re-downloading updated hosts.zip file on the site.

K, bye.

Edit - that's for a windws os.

ajf33 02-27-2018 10:30 PM

Will give it a go! thanks for the heads up!!

ajf33 02-27-2018 10:46 PM

Sadly not made a differene - todays bad connection is yasnxwjtbx.com infected with url:mal.

Admin can you please sort this out, everyday now a different popup or redirection is being blocked when i visit this site by Avast. I've checked my pc to be sure it is this site, and, as my lappy is clean of any nasties, and it is ONLY this site that causes this problem, sumit is clearly not right with your ad providers!!

and another one.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but the only way I can use this forum is with the Tapatalk app on my iPhone. Then there are no ads.

Certainly cannot view this forum on my PC. Too many ads pop up.

My anti virus program detected malware from these ads. Anyone else here experienced the same thing?

Constantly - I run Malwarebytes and it cleans 10 - 12 instances of malware every time I visit the site. Fortunately it does this in the background so I can mostly read the site uninterrupted.

If you read up the thread this has been reported by many people but nothing has been done about it.

Zakatar 04-21-2018 10:59 PM

Starting yesterday, my antivirus has acted up every time I get a backgroud pop up...

steel_horse75 06-04-2018 03:46 PM

Does anyone still pay a sub fee here? My paypal has taken €10 out for this place. Knew it was thing a few years back to keep ad free - just wondered if thats still happening or should I get refund? Cheers
