So you just went ahead and clicked on something that popped up from a known advertising vendor. You have to be pretty naive to do that though, just click on something that pops up and says "click on me" and gives you any sketchy reason as to why you should click it. People don't make money off you clicking their buttons, they make money off serving you advertising, if they can inject a transmitter or beacon onto your machine to generate those ads they will probably do that so you see more ads and generate more money for them.Conz wrote: ↑24 Aug 2017 15:02I was just looking on here for this very reason, I block ad-ware and then AdFly serves a popup that's like 'please click here to support us as you're using an ad blocker'.
So me being 'well fine, people get money for it' so I clicked it.
MALWARE!
Promods really needs to stop using dodgy hosting and redirection sites. It doesn't matter that 'promods doesn't own/host adfly', if it's malicious you should not keep using it.
There's a lot of little kids playing truck sim (just listen to the multiplayer cb radio) who are not as keen on avoiding that crap than more seasoned computer users.
Again, I've said this before, Promods has nothing to do with AdFly, The file hosting site Zippyshare uses their software to generate revenue to keep their site running as they probably don't get enough money from donations alone to pay for keeping the site running and serving the public domain. Promods cannot simply demand that Zippyshare not use it, they are looking after their own interests. What AdFly does is their own agenda they may be open to using any means to accrue the revenue their clients need, though legally its likely that the only thing they agreed to in a contract is a method to acquire money not on what means AdFly uses to get that money.
Finally, get some protection and not just some cheap free bee solution that is offered around the web, use some real security like Trend-Micro, Kaspersky, or Bit Defender. Then back it up with some add-ons to your browser. There are many many types of add-ons that can protect you from not only the ads so you don't even see them to settings for what is allowed in the script of web-pages when you load up the site. If you are worried about your kids on these sites, then the best thing you can do is to get protected from everything you can. You might not like how these sites get their revenue, though almost every site has to use advertising to support their services if they cannot get enough money from more direct sources.
sometimes ad.fly really doesnt allow to pass with adblockers on. I do notthink chrome was the fault to let it install something cause I did not use chrome at that time when it happened.
