For a week or two now when I get on this forum that I get malware and popups that I can't get rid of, unless I get off this forum. I don't get them on other forums. Is it just me or anyone else notice this?

I haven't had any on my phone. Haven't used the computer in a while, so I'm not sure about that way.
None browsing on my Nook (Android).
None on a windows 7 laptop.
x2 on the windows 7 laptop
None on my Windows 8 PC. Do you have adblock installed?
None on my IPhone, or Windows 8
I occasionally get a message asking if I want to open or save a pdf file with a "math" in the file name. I just close it out and does not come back up as a general rule.
I have software on the server that looks for and gets rid of malware and virus's. It regularly scans all mail, and Webspace and FTP Space on the whole server. The only thing that I can think of is maybe you might be seeing ads that "play" automatically. You should never see pop up ads, but sometimes the stupid ads will play sound automatically. When I catch one doing so I get the url and block it in the Ads Software I run to help pay for the site, so no-one will ever see it again. The latest one was Charmin that I blocked. I hate ads that auto start with sound. But that's it. This server is clean.
Stay off those girly sites!!!
Get a copy of Superantispyware program. Its free and download it from the interwebs. It works great on my home computer, and it is the one our IT guy at work recomended. It gets rid of spyware, malware, and lalso some of the trojans, and worms out there tht other programs miss. But I have never gotten anythig from this site that I know of.
Good luck.
I get video ads that play sound everytime I get on the site. They will startle you in the middle of the night when the whole house is quiet..:Doh:
I have two desktops and a laptop and I am not seeing this
LMBarnett I also have this superantispyware program, an when I run this program after I am on here, it catches it an throws it out, but only after the fact that the popups have already attached itself to this forum. The popup comes up over the post I am wanting to look at, an I can't move it or remove it, if I go to another post that popup will be gone only to have another to take its place. I have other defense systems on my decktop computer. Like I stated at the first of my post I don't have this problems with other sites just this one.
none on my iPad or windows Xperia computer
I received word they are working to remove those auto start audio ads. I too hate those. I block all that I find, but I don't want to have to block them, I should just have an option to not run the auto start audio ads, and hopefully they are fixing it.Quote:

Heck yeah, finally. No more auto start audio ads. Only took like a year to get them to do this.
Yeah that's better. I didn't know if it was just me or it was happening to others. Didn't mean to sound like I was griping. It was aggravating though. Thanks again Slab.
If you want it blocked at other sites, download disconnect.me and add it as an extension to your browser. No more ads.
I get something ever now and then where I have to back out and have to come back into page. I figure it some malware/ spyware. who know

I've experienced the popups a couple of times, but they seem to have stopped. No problems now.
