Thank you Christopher. I appreciate the fact that you are working on this. It certainly took some prodding, infractions and some censorship; however it is nice to see you taking care of your members. I as an unpaid member don't really deserve any explanations, but the paid members do and you have provided such. The historical account makes sense, even so, a final answer will be nice/expected. BTW for someone who loves his rights so much, I am quite surprised you decided to censor some of my posts. Happy to have a friendly, fun convo (pm or otherwise) as I already know what your reasoning will be and I have legitimate/correct responses lol. BTW you can delete this bottom paragraph a sI just wanted to say it could be fun to have a friendly argument if you are interested/have time. Anywho, thanks for working on this

It's going to end up being one of your adds.
That is why it is not consistent

The ad thing could prove to be interesting. So some companies are either collecting data or what-not and know or don't. However, the fact remains that people are getting virus/malware/etc reports from different reporters and it is STILL happening on snowest. you guys giving info to the NSA:gossip::face-icon-small-win

Good point. Out of 2000 computers that I deal with, every time I find an infection, it does point back to a malicious ad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvertising

Anybody else find the recent Yahoo Malware infection interesting?

So strange they have Malicious Ads slipped in their ad BLOCKS.

It's actually easy to do.

The thing I find interesting, is that yahoo actually admitted that they had malicious ads.

REQUEST.

If you see this Virus Alert pop up on your system, would you PLEASE take a SCREEN SHOT and post it here.

We would like to see what ads are running that might be the source of the alert.
