Infected Ad Page

[clickers]

I get the unsafe site error sometimes. It doesn't look like the one you posted though.

Just to clarify my OP... I am NOT running any ad-blockers. This is a virus issue, not an ad or ad-blocker issue.

Same I have had both AVG and McAfee block, I am certainly glad for programs that detect these things because they do mess up your computer.

My virus/malware software has blocked a few pages that I tried to click on.  I usually will run my virus/malware software after that happens just in case...

Depending upon your virus protection, there is usually a way to "white list" an item that is being flagged as spyware, viruses, etc.

You may have to do some google research on your product and find this out to do this or put in a customer service question to your virus protection customer service.

No

The ad page for the PTC never loads and this has been going on for quite awhile. But, I get credit for it.

This has been happening to me for several weeks now.  At least whatever you are trying to do still credits even tho you can't see the page because of this problem.

Thank goodness not come across it, hoping I never will.

Certainly you can override and I would do that with something important to me and something I actually TRUST.  In this case it really is a mute point as the only reason to open the page is for credit, and credit happens with the click.

no but i would post a suppt ticket so the admins know. maybe they can contact the vendor or do something to prevent it.

Happens to me on the Daily Email and the PTC sponsored offers.  If there is a threat, I am glad my anti-virus catches it.  So many people have commented on this, I would think FC would look into it.  But everything credits, so I just deal with it -- annoying as it it.

[bshee58]

Haven't got any infected ad pages.

[dsosnowski06]

I get them on the daily email and PTC also but always get credited.  My anti virus program blocks them

It's not rare to happen, but your like the guy who still gets credit for clicking on the banner anyway, just be glad you have some sort of antivirus on your computer. Great for more problems that just that. Take care & have a great day.

I often get an alert from my anti-virus software about the Paid to Clicks too but generally just
ignore it. All these paid-to sites are risky so if you are going to use them, you have to accept that risk.
