me too.1

I don't get these at all. Is it because I use NoScript? Or do I have malware and don't even know it

1/6/2010 11:47:53 PM

It keeps asking me if I'm sure I want to navigate away from the page


fucking annoying

This is what MSE keeps picking up:

Go and solicit ads from porn sites. I wouldn't mind seeing a fat ol' puss with the ads that are on here.

1/7/2010 8:39:13 PM

Hmm yeah definitely haven't seen anything like that. I guess I'm safe... for now

1/7/2010 9:14:41 PM

i took all the ads down

1/7/2010 9:37:04 PM

i put up the ads again. the owners disabled all but one of the ad networks, so the evil ads should be gone. i'll be honest with y'all, i'm not exactly confident in the advertiser's guarantee, so if anybody has a problem with ads, let me know ASAP so i can take them down again.

1/23/2010 10:11:03 PM

What the hell, bro?

2/20/2010 5:23:25 PM

^Well, obviously you are today's winner.

2/20/2010 5:36:05 PM

I clicked but it did not take me anywhere!

2/20/2010 5:39:22 PM

sorry about that. i've disabled the third party ad system again. anybody else gotten any sketchy ads lately?

2/20/2010 5:47:43 PM

just as I was logging in, trendmicro picked up two. I'm not sure what the ads were since they go away after login...

these are the urls trendmicro picked up:

more like

I want AIDS that don't set off my virus detection

amirite?

3/3/2010 8:08:29 PM

why would you want AIDS?

3/3/2010 8:11:41 PM

got a weird eharmony ad that made some noise

3/4/2010 9:39:23 AM

thanks for the report. did it automatically start playing when you opened the page?

3/4/2010 10:13:38 AM

no it was after i scrolled, may have been an accidental mouseover

3/4/2010 11:06:53 PM

WOAH WOAH WOAH This one popped up and wouldn't go away unless I clicked the X

3/18/2010 10:49:37 PM

After locking up firefox twice and going nuts once with the auto-rotate I finally had to put in some custom filters for ABP. Sorry guys... I don't mind the local ads (USuites or whatever) but some of the syndicated stuff is getting out of hand.

3/20/2010 4:07:11 AM

Yesterday I received one of those siezure inducing adds that rapidly flash and play the sound clip "CONGRADULATIONS! YOU'VE WON!"

3/22/2010 12:17:04 PM

Just got a "Congratulations! You've Won!" voice ad on the main page.

3/23/2010 9:32:47 PM

4/4/2010 11:10:58 PM

yep. i've sent 2 emails this week to the ad guy about the audio ads

[Edited on April 4, 2010 at 11:49 PM. Reason : .]

4/4/2010 11:49:16 PM

There was NO audio, virus, or anything annoying about this ad

But, but, I feel you have sold our soul to The Evil Xenu

I use AdBlock and FlashBlock in Chrome
but I also like SRWare Iron from http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php because it can actually block content (Chrome is developing this ability), and this is an easy way to do it, although it doesn't auto-update like the EasyList used by AdBlock: http://fanboy.co.nz/adblock/iron/

For Safari 5, use http://safariadblock.com/ and Plugin Blocker: http://combsconnections.tk/extensions/index.php

For Opera, use this solution: http://fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/
and you can also block plugins from auto-loading with this Userscript: http://ruzanow.ru/userjs/allblock.js

For Internet Explorer 8, fuck IE7Pro and follow this advice (it uses InPrivate Filtering): http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18156398b


For any browser, on any platform, this provides another layer of protection via your HOSTS file: http://pgl.yoyo.org/as/
I like to use 0.0.0.0 as my redirection IP, like this: http://pgl.yoyo.org/as/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&useip=0.0.0.0&showintro=0&startdate%5Bday%5D=&startdate%5Bmonth%5D=&startdate%5Byear%5D=&mimetype=plaintext
Note the "useip=0.0.0.0" there...just remember to add the lines

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

The fuck guys? I just turned on my computer and came straight to TWW. After about a minute, my virus scanner picks something up that was downloaded into:

C:\Users\Matthew\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\6.0.458.1\0.8573572490686435.exe

Fucking identified as Unruy.D. IIRC, you suspended a guy for blocking ads, yet you give us ads and shit that infects our computers. What the fuck would you like us to do?

7/22/2010 6:44:20 PM

nobody has ever been suspended for blocking ads

and what i would like you to do is provide some information that can be used to conclusively determine what you're talking about and where it might have come from

otherwise, there's no reason for me to believe it came from tww, nor is there anything i can do about it

7/22/2010 6:52:19 PM

haha, if people were suspended for blocking ads, then most of the active users would be permabanned.

7/22/2010 8:27:08 PM

^^^It came not from TWW but from an advertiser

now see my post right above yours for a solution

it's called "Chrome AdBlock, FlashBlock, and an ad-blocking HOSTS file"

7/23/2010 11:38:04 PM

^ And I should not have to do any of that!

The name of the thread is "I want Ads that don't set off my virus detection."

When I come here, and my virus detection software picks up a virus, the blame lies on TWW. Regardless of where the virus is hosted, I am getting it from this site.

^^ I didn't see the ad, as I have adthwart on my computer. All I know is that I came back home after 2 days of not using my desktop, I turn it on, and I came straight to TWW. I didn't visit anywhere else, and hadn't even opened a new tab yet.

You know more about the ad services that you use than I do.

7/24/2010 11:25:54 AM

^whine whine whine
you can't keep TWW's ad network safe from hackers, and you can't make TWW use a more reputable ad network, but you *can* protect yourself from ad-borne malware

do what you can
