More Radio Loyalty issues?

On a few of the occasions in which I used Radio Loyalty, I experienced a strange problem where the radio page would redirect itself. Most of the time, it just redirected to some weird page. I didn't pay much attention to them, figuring it just had something to do with one of the many advertisements featured on Radio Loyalty. Perhaps one of them forced a redirect.

However, the most recent interruption caught my attention, because it claimed that my computer had malware. Initially I was alarmed, especially since it appeared legitimate (from Microsoft Security Essentials), but then I read the message more carefully:

Microsoft Security Essentials detected potential threats that migth compromise your privacy or damage your computer.
You need to clean your computer immediately to prevent the system crash.

I can't imagine Microsoft would have that many grammatical errors, if any, in their final product.

Has anyone else experienced any of this?

I have seen that message, but not with Radio Loyalty.  I can't say what to do about that.

It's a scam! Ignore it!

A month or two ago, I had that same problem with RL redirecting me to a very suspicious malware/scam-like sites. No one else seemed to be having that problem so I stopped using RL and waited for about a week. But then the problem never came up again so I didn't report it. Is it coming back again? 

Anyway, you should ignore messages like that. Even if they claim to be from Microsoft, it could still be a scam. So be sure that you don't click anything. If your system is really infected, your anti-virus will notify you or you can do a scan if you want to be sure. But don't click anything on the pages RL redirects you to.

Yup, I ignored it. It's been a few weeks since the one that claimed my computer has a virus... *rolls eyes* But I've still been getting the other ones that automatically redirect my RL page.
