Hey I just got a new fake Virus Scan site. This one was worse because I had to use ctrl alt Del to shut down my whole Internet Explorer. Could some mod or developer or system representative please let us know someone is doing something about this, because it's not going away so far. I got screen shots of this one:

<3 I was just coming here to b***h about the above intrusion attempt I've gotten from gaia from that Alpha s**t website. Its the second time that's happened too me, and its ******** ridiculous. I came seconds from accidentally clicking enter to enter my post, when this pop-up takes over gaia and spams its pop-up for me to download its virus. I want this fixed, NOW. |

I got that "Your computer might be infected..." thing, aging. Fix it...NOW!! Before more people get it.

Gaia, when will you fix this? Anywhere I go on Gaia that has an ad, 90% of the time Kaspersky has to block the fake "anti-virus."
It's been more then 2 months if I remember correctly, shouldn't you guys do something. I am very concerned becuase this is suppose to be a safe website, but lately I been doubting your decisions. |

My apologies for not including all header info, etc. There is one serious annoying ad: the one that TALKS and says there's a "Mystery Gift that could be yours, just click on the banner to see what it is." Please block it.

A lot of people seem to have a problem with these malware popups lately. I'm not convinced that this is something Gaia has purposely allowed into their site, and I'm not convinced that it's a simple fix. (I don't claim to be an expert on this, this is just a personal experience-based theory) I believe this is one of those rogue ads that worm their way through completely uninvited, and which are difficult to catch as their pathways can be different each time.
I say this only because people are getting quite angry with Gaia and seem to believe they've allowed these popups. I hope this will get read by a few people so they don't feel so bitterly toward Gaia staff sweatdrop |

Dont you give a crap about your users, or are you realy out to make yourself a bit of dosh??
I have viruses all the time from gaia, nobody lets me go on their computers anymore because after I come off gaia, they have loads of viruses. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n234/huni_buni56/crap.jpg ( I dragged my mouse across the add and it showed the address at the bottom of the page ) I belive TribalFusion is a harmful tracking cookie. I've had this one from gaia before. Get rid of the dodgy adds, or the adds altogether.. Gaia aint worth no efin virus' |

Dot_Hack_Boots Hey I just got a new fake Virus Scan site. This one was worse because I had to use ctrl alt Del to shut down my whole Internet Explorer. Could some mod or developer or system representative please let us know someone is doing something about this, because it's not going away so far. I got screen shots of this one: Oh Gaia! Guess what..I also had this virus too. I had to re-boot my computer to an earlyer time, because it was imposible to remove. |
