PTC Sponsored offers
« on: January 25, 2018, 05:32:21 am »
The last couple of days, when I click on the sponsored offer (a couple of different ones, today it was "My Best Health Plan", I get this:
This site can’t be reached
The connection was reset.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

And then I get a virus warning.  I steill get credit for the Sponsored offer, but I wonder what is going on.

Anyone else experience this?

The last few days I've been getting something like that on the PTC ads.  (a flash update or a virus warning)  I just close them out...I still get credit though. :o :o

I haven't gotten these but have seen others in the forum who have... not sure what is happening but it sounds like your virus program may be detecting adware and sending an alert

I'm not really worried, because the page won't open and I still get credit, I just find it odd.  Happened today when I did the daily email captcha.....ah well!

I haven't gotten anything of such & definitely don't want a virus on my computer.

I feel the chances of getting a virus is extremely unlikely as I'm sure FC checks for them before putting surveys, offers, etc on here as they don't want us getting viruses or others learning that you can get them here and they don't join or they start losing those who are here

Haven't gotten this warning on the PTC pages, but keep getting random warnings on other pages. I just exit and reload and the warning disappears. Not sure what's up, but I doubt it's an actual virus problem.

If you have any issues with an offer whatever send in a ticket they will remove the listing this site does like to keep up to date but they are  human they do miss stuff
