  Right, i havent a clue whats going on here, but i get this warning every time i visit the earn more credits pages on here. I havent see this pop up anywhere else, as in other websites etc. Im not sure what to do with this 1, but have checked the website IP out, and it seems to be coming from Israel. Anybody any ideas what this is all about,or seeing this warning themselves?  Cheers folks

  

  Edit: ive scanned, and rescanned with anti-virus and Malwarebytes, but found nothing harmful so far.

  EDIT2: Ive gone back in a few more times now, and see that it happens every time i click on supersonicads in the "more offers" section.

  Cheers Steve, ive seen all that to be honest. What has me worried though, is that i came across a site that said this IP was blacklisted. That dont sound too good to be honest, and has only started in the last 2 days, but more often today.

  just wondering if there is anything to be worried about with this?

  anti virus doesn't always pick up hijackers or spyware...probly just spyware from that site...there is a very good program called winpatrol that stop rootkits and hijackers I recommend....

  You won't find anything with a scan, as the popup says, it has been successfully blocked.

  As to the popup, it probably isn't anything to be too concerned about AFAIK. You can & do pick these things up most anywhere if not protected.  It could even be a false positive depending upon what security you use.

  That said; these days a porn site is the safest place you can go, & most anywhere else can be riddled with any number of things. Good security is paramount to staying healthy anywhere of course.

  If you have more than one type security, they can even flag each other as dangerous.  FAIK, it's best to have only one good firm watching out for you.  I wouldn't be overly concerned about this, though I'm fairly sure someone with more knowledge will come along to refute this, so don't act in any way based on this.            :-)

  Thanks Hyena. LMAO at the porn site part, i wonder if there is a porn golf game out there, lol.
