Every time I load a new page, I get 3 popups saying some address is blocked.
I'm guessing it's ads, because they now look like this all over the page:

A: I'd get Adblock plus. the site is much more appealing without ads. (inb4 ads bring rev.)
B: Don't use Nod32.
OT: (Constructive) I'd guess it's alerting you are the ads are running cookies/tracking scripts etc. To the best of my knowledge, there is no pop-up ads on MMO.

This sort of doesn't answer my question.

Can you remember what the ads were? Often this can help mods/admins fix "bad ads"

Getting the same here started yesterday afternoon there are 3 blocked websites(ads) "202.7.177.18:80" "74.125.237.26:80" "144.135.8.197:80"
Lol at get a real antivirus nod32 and any eset products are great and do what they are designed to do.

Did you recently update Nod32, and now it's recognizing the ads?

Why not? I know there are a couple suites that are 'better', but considering I get NOD32 free through work, I'd say it's the best 'free' AV I can get. :P Originally Posted by haxartus

Sometimes there are cases where the AV companies push out a bad definition file(hello Mcafee, Symantec, AVG, and others).
NOD32 might be freaking out due to the way some of these ads almost match closely to a malicious-type of link.
