There does appear to be a malware virus trying to load on my computer when playing with ads. Ads are inconvenient, but malware is very much not cool. I would imagine any new players getting this fake virus scan software popup would find it objectionable and never return to the site. It seems to popup when you’re in the game window. Whatever ad this is coming through should be removed asap!

are you talking about the ad that says your computer is infected? cuz i agree...its a scam that makes several windows pop up...some showing you have corrupt files in your drives etc... if you get this...just close the windows... they try to make it appear as if your own system has detected problems...the *******s who create this kind of ad need to be shot...

it does look very inappropriate doesn't it, and when I clicked on it I was greatly disappointed with what come up, not what I thought it was going to be!

Well, the only time I have any issue is if I don't vote for the daily membership, which is usually the first thing I do when I log in. There has been a couple of times I tryed to play without voting, which was brutal. I'm most concerned about new players being turned away by virus scare.

it would require changing ad companies...i doubt that will happen...
although google ads probably pays better and would never allow such an ad...duct tape girl wouldn't be allowed either...which to me is kind of border line material for a place that allows minors...but thats just my opinion... when my wife asked why there is a pic of a chic with duct tape over her mouth on the page...i said...i don't know...just a sleazy ad honey!
