Mmo almost gave me a virus

[conqq]

hunters got Track Porns

anyway back IT: this is because of ads, happened to a lot of people today

P.S. Chrome > Firefox, we don't have ages to load web pages, better do it faster :P

There is no difference unless you have a complete crap computer.

Another person like this the same day? Really people?!

STOP CLICKING ADS THAT ARE ON THE SITE OF ANY SITE YOU EVER GO TO.

There, no more virus.

I DIDN'T click on ANY ad and I got the same thing. I clicked on the Computer forum and it brought me to the page, X'd out the little box that popped up and it started downloading shit. Its not my fault the site has a suspicious link.

Actually, there is a HUGE difference. At least from switching from Explorer to Chrome, shit was so fast.

Ahh.. Another retard who thinks he knows what he is talking about.
Please, do us all a favor and read the OP's post.
Now, tell me... Did he say he clicked anything? No.
It was a damn pop-up ad. It needs no clicking!

[Arthroxin]

FireFox + NoScript + AdBlockPlus = Problem solved

I had the same thing happen to me. Fucking and I know what I'm doing. It pops up by itself. I was browsing the forums, middleclicking ones i wanted to read making multiple tabs, one of them in the middle was all, "This page is not trusted". It was NOT his fault.

Mozzila firefox offers a great adblocker

tis called Ab blocker plus, I suggest you download it. Its amazing. I have not once seen an add anywhere on any website because it blocks it all for you. nIf its not it gives you an option of doing so

And "No Script" -- a bit of learning to get used to (less than a day), but so worth it.

There is no difference unless you have a complete crap computer.

Claiming that there is no difference is like saying Windows Movie Maker and Adobe After Effects or Sony Vegas is the same.
But, ther ereally is no point in arguing which is faster. These days it's either Chrome, Firefox or Opera. It changes so often that it's impossible to keep track of which one is fastest. It all comes down to personal preference.
Personally, I'd recommend Opera.

[Arthroxin]

I will never click an add therefore I see no reason that blocking it is bad.

[Bluedevil21]

The internet is a dangerous place.

Use Google Chrome.

My work got tired of paying me extra time to fix our computers so I suggested Macs. I sure love working on some clean looking machines.

[Rotted]

Its not MMO :O its those seedy porn sites you been lookin at! =p

You done it now.

[Rotted]

OT I hate chrome can any1 give any pointers on why I should change my opinion on it o.O

[Alexia]

Just to be entirely sure I scanned our repositories on disk and verified the files are clean. We are looking into a deceptive advertisement that is not a virus, but fraudulently claims to have found one.

I would tell you what the ad looks like but I couldn't see it. As soon as I clicked on the forum link, it brought me to virus page thing.

[Tribunal]

This isn't anything to do with clicking ads or actual virus scanners.

It's the normal "Blah blah blah Spam Program has detected an error on your PC, click 'yes' for a free scan!" BUT even if you don't click anything it still redirects you to the virus-filled Spam Program's site (though it won't download without a click, usually).

Those ads have never been on MMO-Champ before, and I seriously doubt they're purposeful now: I'm sure the ad provider's filters just pooped for a bit.

Still worth letting MMO-Champ know so they can bitch at the ad providers c:
