REPORT BAD ADVERTISEMENTS: AUDIO, POPUPS, SHADY

**DancingCorpse** · 08-22-09, 03:45 AM

Yeah, I am getting threat detections randomly when just opening my web browser. This has to be TTP ads since I reformatted my computer today and haven't visit any other sites yet except for my anti virus, Sound drivers and windows update.

got the same as above a little while ago only while on TTP

**Red_Lizard2** · 08-22-09, 03:43 PM

just in case its something more malicous, ZA has been bitching to me about this: a.collective.media.net (208.43.57.101)

It may just be probing for ad targeting, all i know is its trying to connect to my computer so i thought i throw it up just in case

I somehow keep getting tracking cookiees from TTP from the ad networks (Yieldmanager, doubleclick, etc) and about every third time I open a web browser with the TTP homepage I get a virus alert for them from AVG.

could be false positives... tried downloading something else like a 30 day trial of one of the majors just to see? I've currently got Eset's protection 30 day trial with av, firewall, etc and I like it so much I may just pay for it ... on a side note mousing over an ad that went away before I could see what it was advertising opened me up to a page that couldn't be displayed and this (http://tr1.traffog.info/017wLxAzLwEzL==&1616200930066) in the address bar just now

so why isn't everyone getting this same issue?

arreo, me, and civil especially, given how many pageviews we see compared to you...or any normal person?

I recognize the language of the scam, though. We've seen that one before. I'll submit the screenshots and links to our networks....see if they can ban the network.

And go buy norton 360.

I got that same one this morning.

**Mr.Expendable** · 08-22-09, 04:34 PM

some this happened on my laptop

i was like, WTF VirusDoctor??

Edit: I got it on the updated version of IE (Internet Explorer)
This is a brand new laptop and it was just after I'd logged in.

Just an FYI I'm using firefox at work and at home 2 different versions and also view the site with my iphone and don't get
either one of those ads. Also I've tried this while logged in and w/o logging in and haven't had a problem either way.

EDIT: those that are seeing this bad ad should report what browser they are using. Also it may or may not matter but what page
on the forums where you on when you got the bad ad.

I really have no clue.

Might be differences in virus programs, I'll try to copy paste the alert for you next time. Or copy it by hand, if nothing else. I find it very odd myself that it started happening as soon as I reformatted. I think the version of AVG I am running now, compared to what I was running before the format, is newer.

And I have yet to have a good experience with Norton.
