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

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

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.

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:

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.

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

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
to the top, along with
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
if you use a Mac, before using this as your new HOSTS file, or else you won't be able to connect to the Internet again.


I see absolutely no problematic ads now.

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?

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

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

^^^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"

^ 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.

^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
