The recently introduced online advertising occasionally lead to sites with Trojans and malware

We can't get rid of them, because that is the position of owner of the forums.
The problems with the new ads we write in this thread > click (originally there is a link)

To trace the source of the problem in case of 'contamination', we need information from you:
1. Link to the website to which you were moved by clicking on the ad.
2. Date and time of issue.
3. Screenshot of the problematic ads and info about the detected virus / malware.

We apologize for the problems.

I think I know what you're talking about. It's some hacker group that overtook peoples computers and used them as servers. This virus that they placed on peoples computers made them unable to surf on the internet and shit, so FBI made their own servers and connected them to all the infected computers, which then allowed people to use the internet again. That happened a long time ago (10 years or something, can't remember), so a few days ago, FBI decided to shut down the servers, which then lead to roughly a quarter of a million computers going back to their original infected state. Idk about the ad thing though.
Shit happens
