Malware Ad on Forum
by Friedrich Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:00 pm
I am placing this post in the Beginner section so most forum members will see the post.
On the page where you view anyones profile there is a highly questionable and misleading ad. The ad has a window that looks like video is trying to load and a bar that says that you need a xvid plugin to view video.
When I clicked on the ad my security suite flagged it as a trojan. I looked on the net and this ad is at best misleading advertising and at worst a security threat. It loads crap programs on your system to target you for advertising and collects system imformation. It also loads an outdated version of xvid.
My stong suggestion is that you do not click on this ad.
\We get this forum for free with the ads and have no say what ads are on the forum. For the ads to be removed we would have to pay for the forum. Friedrich
