Malicious Ads

  Look,

  If you're going to accept advertisements on this site please at least VET them to ensure that they don't link to malicious sites. My Norton AV blocked an attack from one of the ads on the homepage (post login). IF we can't trust you to at least ensure that your paid ads are safe and malware free then can we really trust the site itself?

  Just sayin'

  Been here 5+ years, never seen a malicious ad (apart from the cheat software ad!) on WGT.

  Norton is notorious for flagging up harmless sites as malicious, I had Norton for a year but got rid of it after a week because it's a pile of shite.

  The free versions of Avast and AVG are far superior to the paid for Norton.

  7 years here and never have before either but that was before Top Golf took over. I guess they don't vet things quite as well as the previous owners. This was no Norton overreach.This was a confirmed malware attack.
