Trouble With Voting Sites

Post by Angel »

Just to let you know, the first site listed is one my antivirus program refuses to let me go to. Also, the Arena one I will not go to because it always gives me another screen, once advertising escorts. Other than those, I vote on all sites. Excelsior is definitely #1! :D

This one in particular: http://www.mmorpgtoplist.com/in.php?site=60379
is randomly popping up those ads, or attempting to hijack your browser by popping up the fake windows virus, call now ad.

guys install Adblock for safer surfing, you can allways disable it in the right top corner of your browser if the page gets blocked by it, In the antivirus problem just set the page as safe in your antivirus - browser pages menu.

that is the funny thing. I use adblock, Ghostery, and noscript, but it still popped up anyway.
It doesn't pop up every time, but maybe around 50% of the time.

I was going to run wireshark the next time I click the button, just to see what that says, so that I can maybe block the particular ip address that those adds are coming from
