andyr2005 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi,Just posting to let you know that your Ad provider is hosting Adware in ads shown on your site. The most obvious and intrusive of which, being the DriverCleaner.com ad, which takes your browser window, reduces the size and tried to install the file UDC6_0001D19M1908NetInstall.exe.Good job I had aVast runninh which detected it as Win32:Adware-Gen.

Honeyfrog Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'll bet heaping wads of money that this particular ad isn't the only malware-infested one of the bunch. (Virtually 100% of ads regarding drive/system "cleaners" are frauds.)The ad provider should be fired immediately; their very best excuse for letting something like that through is incompetence (i.e., no auto-scanning of client submissions before sending them out, etc).

Greg Hazel Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ok, this ad (Zango) is blocked. Turns out we had an incorrect setting on our account that would allow 3rd party ads even if they had been identified and blocked by our provider. That's changed now - but let me know if anything creeps through in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
