Some of the pop ups contain malware, this needs to be fixed.
Its the admins responsibility, Turquoise, tell them its becoming a big problem.

Yes I got one on my phone!!! Telling me to go and download some program.  Its a scam!  Shame on you for allowing this!  I asked you a few months ago, and was told to just ignore the ads.  This was happening way back when I first asked about the problem!  This could really harm someone, being scammed if they did not know enough not to download like they ask.

I agree. Theres way too many ads and pop-ups that contain malware. I have antivirus installed (in phone AND computer) and I keep getting notifications and warnings from it about this site. It never happened like this before.

Our tech team stopped ads they ask to me :

"We have paused ads, will I still be prompted to download a virus?"

Could you please check ?

Every time I went to this site, it automatically downloaded OperaGXSetup. I would delete it & go back to PinDIY & again, just downloaded it. When I didnt delete the exe, it didnt pop up again.  Details Reply Post time 2024-7-6 21:26
