memebag Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Editor:One of the ads is taking over the page when I click "View New Posts" and redirects me to http://performanceoptimizer.com. It's evil and annoying. Can you block that ad or at least the redirect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 It just happened to me, too. At least I know now where it came from. I thought it came from some nefarious site...not that I visit nefarious sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I've gotten it a couple of times. A dangerous looking popup with Ok/Cancel and it takes you to their site no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbaNerd Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 You guys need to get Firefox with Noscript. You can pretty much avoid anything malicious out there with this combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Since I don't run Windows I don't see it. Can one of you post a screengrab so I can track it down? The click-through URLs on the scummier ads don't match up with the advertiser names. I'll have a better shot if I can see what it looks like.

Justin Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've attached a shot of the message FF3RC1 gives me. And this is the info Google has on why it's blocked: http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/saf...6&adid=intl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks, but I still need to see the offending ad so I can track it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks, but I still need to see the offending ad so I can track it down.I got hit with it earlier today. I tried to take a screen capture but couldn't get it to copy over into Paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
