I've been navigating around the site for a while and I haven't experienced any problems. I don't know--maybe it was some random occurrence? I can't tell you anything because I haven't been redirected at all, even on this non-sub account. =l

Read.

Shut up.

But, he said he removed all but one ad, and when I was on the other account, I seen two on the game page alone.

Meh--either way, I guess it wouldn't matter now that all of them are disabled.

synth also said clear your cache

i experienced some horrible redirecting while on my alts the other day

*shivers* The horrible memories of AVG...That thing killed my previous computer. I spent around 4 minutes killing the ads that came up every 2 seconds. I used to have Avast! Antivirus and it did a good job on everything. I believe it started from one virus and that made a gate for AVG to come through. It creeped in my computer for about one month and started to attack shortly after. It just slowly ate away the computer's memory and then it just shut down...

Currently, I'm using Trend Micro and I have yet to have any issues with any virus or malware. I also tested the site (unknowingly) without being logged in. I didn't get any ad problems, either. Might depend on the virus protection programs...or bad luck with ads.

Just be sure to get rid of AVG the fastest you can, or your computer could turn into my dead one.

The only place I've ever been redirected on this site was in my OM inbox. Well, the main page of the forums, too, but still.
flashflashrevolution.com/vbz
flashflashrevolution.com/vbz/private.php
Other than those two places I've never been redirected on this site.

CrunkaMOFUKKalicious · 03-19-2009, 11:49 PM

I had this happened to me once >.>
Luckily my antivirus cought it before it could pop up

Looks like it's still happening though--and there doesn't to be a specific ad triggering it either, it's just going on it's own.

clarinet89 · 03-21-2009, 01:51 PM

My adblock blocks all of the popups, but for some reason it doesn't catch the redirects at all. I have to manually add the URLs to my adblock, and some still even get through. It's really starting to piss me off.

Also, there's one ad that I get redirected to and when I click the "go back" button, I get redirected to a different ad immediately and it doesn't go back to ffr. That's also really friggin annoying.

If it keeps happening, take a screenshot of the place it redirects you to before you hit go back, then take a screenshot of the one it takes you to. That could help Synthlight disable them.

i was just attacked by the antivirus crap on this alt

luckily spyware doctor saved me

EDIT: also spyware doctor blocks ads that harm my computer

**Flandre Scarlet** · 03-21-2009, 03:09 PM

All I have on is Avast and Adblock, no redirects or popups at all from the time I installed Adblock almost a month ago. Seems that some people's computers get redirects for some reason. =/

Ephraim Desole · 03-21-2009, 03:35 PM

I'm turning off Adblock Plus for the next few hours. I'll edit this post with whatever happens later.

**rushyrulz** · 03-21-2009, 09:35 PM

Nothing odd has happened to me lately, although I am a subby...
