I just got an ad that automatically redirects be to a page with a "free malware scan." The website was jnewage.com I believe. Sorry I can't do the complicated yet thorough reporting. ♥♥♥ |

SlightOfHand There is a bug on one of the ads for the gaia homepage I havent been able to find it again, but it has an animation that comes up of a hockey puck and I have tried to avoid clicking it, but even before the animation has started, the ad that is on the front page places itself on over each button I try to press. such as the drop lists on the top and the daily chance. I end up unintentionally clicking the ad and the hockey puck animation starts and slows down my comp, or interupts my music. this happened around 6:30 on my Firefox tab. Im in British Columbia Thanks, Spinikus I'm in Canada too. I have the same thing happen to me (on a pretty regular basis), but it's a Canadian savings bond site it's pretty frustrating. I've taken to refreshing the page if I see the ad come up. If something could be done with this it would be greatly appreciated 3nodding |

i keep getting that redirected one too. it closes the screen sais ive got a virus and or malware and you can only click ok to the free scan and then it takes you to a page where it looks like its scanning your computer. its been happening every now and then to me on any of my accounts since the event started. next time it happens i will post more info about it.

I have been investigating these "Offers" and most are not suitable for younger gaia's and further more many are virus ridden. Please in the future actually check what sort of quality your own ads that your promoting are. While not typical I do believe these do fall under inappropriate ads. >.> |

I got redirected to some Chinese Sex Museum page from the avatar dress-up screen. The only way I could get off this page was to close the browser window. It also opened something to do with Adobe Reader, which always messes up my PC. |

Got this hijack re-direct. Which tried to prompt me twice to download some exectable. Come on folks this is inexcusable. You really should already be aware of the ads currently in operation of the site. I wont want to play here if I am going to be continuously prompted for this kinda crap sad |

That virus scanner crap hits me at least 3 times a Gaia visit.
Most of the time I get it in my avatar dress up page and shopping. it's making me QQ gaia.... |

I keep getting this weird virus scan thing sometimes when I venture around the gaian website.
what should I do? can anyone pm me about this like a gaian staff? I use the latest version of firefox, and my ISP has already given me security. When the ad pops up it closes my window, and redirects me to that saying i hvae viruses, but when I do my ISP security it is not saying I have any. |
