Welcome to Gaia! ::

Please monitor your ads.

In fact, get rid of them all! Or at least get rid of the bad ones. Onemanga can do it, why can't you?!

Viruses are POURING in from all of your stupid flash ads.

it's cost me one computer already.

Can't you put people on it?! You have tons of users willing to be mods, and moderate posts a lot, but don't you CARE About these stupid viruses?

Most users, including me would be happy to shut down all these ads and flash stuff that have viruses threaded through them. SO WE WOULDn"T HAVE TO HELP YOU GET RID OF THEM BY SACRIFICING OUR COMPUTERS AND ALL OF OUR WORK IN THEM!

I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT WAITING FOR ME, AND YOUR, YES YOUR VIRUS HAS STOPPED IT UP.

I CANNOT ACTIVATE SYSTEM RESTORE, OR ANY APPLICATION NOW.



I AM INCENSED. UNTIL YOU DECLARE ALL VIRUSES FIXED, I MAY HAVE TO QUIT GAIA. I LIKE THIS PLACE, BUT MY COMPUTER IS MORE IMPORTANT.


AND I WANT TO HEAR AN ANNOUNCEMENT, THAT ALL VIRUSES ARE FIXED, AND YOU HAVE MONITORED EVERYTHING. NOT JUST ADS, EVERYTHING.

AS IN, FLASH. EVERYTHING.

Gaia can't screen their ads, they get them in a bundle from Google.

As a general rule of thumb you never click ads, any ads. If you are a competent computer user you should a) know this and b) have a good anti-virus client. More over, what makes you so bent that you got the virus through gaia and not through some othere means?
I have NEVER, EVER ONCE clicked a stupid ad.


The flash content just GAVE it to me. Just by it BEING there.

Jsut by the ad being SHOWED.

And I have NEVER gotten a virus by ANY THING ELSE ANY OTHER WEBSITE BESIDES GAIA!!!!!!!!!!

NOT EVEN GOOGLE.

ONLY GAIA HAS GIVEN ME VIRUSES.

I encountered a malicious ad once. Had to reformat the machine I was on. After that I began using firefox and ad-block. No problems since.

I've never gotten a virus from a web site. o.o

Virus protection is your responsibility, not Gaia's and Gaia's ad's are not any different than any other sites ad's. So I ask you. How can you be sure the said virus came from the ad's here?

Again, how can you be so sure it was from gaia and their ads? unless gaia is the only place on your internet you ever go to and you never download music, movies or software then you really don't know it is from gaia.

I'm sorry, but Gaia Online is a business, and therefore, virus protection is their responsibility.

If you need help with finding an anti-virus program, I can recommend two together that make the unbeatable team: McAfee and Avast. I used to get viruses just from being on the page as well, but those two stopped them in their tracks. [-I also use Firefox-]
Evacuate the dancefloor. I'm infected by the sound. Stop, this beat is killing me...

Install a good anti-virus. I've never had any problems here, so I don't see how it's Gaia's fault.

Hey doctor DJ, let the music take me underground...

Honestly you can get a virus from anywhere. That's why you should get Anti Virus software
