    Default Redirects

    Many of you have noticed that you are getting redirected (I have too) to fake anti-virus software. Do NOT fall for these sites. They will only give you more viruses.

    I'm assuming that the ads that Evolve has running on the site have been hacked and are redirecting members. When you are redirected to one of these sites, please post its URL and we will have it blacklisted. Endless Paradigm is also experiencing this problem. ZiNgA had contacted the host of his ads and this is what they told him.

    The ads you are talking about are a problem. Thanks for informing us about it.
    These ads are not served by BannerConnect, in fact they are in violation with our TOS.
    However, we get the ad tags out of the rightmedia system and unfortunately there are people who manage to disabuse/hack these tags.

    Problem is, they are not in our banner rotation, so I can’t track them down very easy.
    If you could provide us with more info or a referrer url this would help.
    You can get this referrer url by clicking on the ad and hitting the escape button at the same time. A referrer url looks like:

    http://ad.bannerconnect.net/click,AAAAAH...CAAECgIACg MkdAkAMfkIAHkuBwAAAAAAAA......

    It is possible that you have to try several times before you obtain the url.
    I'm not sure if Evolve is using the system that ZiNgA does or if he's using AdSense but the same thing may apply.

    I'll try to talk to Evolve (or another staff member will) about this problem.

    I haven't got redirected yet, maybe it's the web browser you are using. I use firefox.
    As for anti virus all I use is AVG for free.
