NG medals blocked

[Zielak]

thanks to my Kaspersky... It has a built in ad blocking program that blocks most of the ads from any program i use. Unfortunately it also blocks newgrounds medals system. Anyone know correct http link that I should add to Kaspersky white list in order to activate medals?

you're really a filthy thief if you use an adblocker.

we "pay" for the bandwith by viewing ads, if you don't, you're technically just stealing it

I'm trying to unblock all newgrounds stuff okay? Some ads are visible, I found some links for them, thought it would be same to medals system but no go...

Uninstall the ad-blocker?

just uninstall the adblocker, you're not just stealing from newgrounds, but from all sites.

if you want a really good antivirus, download avast.

Read the first post, it's IN Kaspersky. I won't get myself naked in front of viruses that camps on the Internet.

Usually I'd agree with this. But there are those sites where they have GIANT FLASHING ADS OF DOOM. Where 90% of the site is an ad if you don't have an adblocker. And pop-ups and pop-unders. Ugh.

No, I used that while ago. It's that dumb that it detects a virus inside of itself...

I use it for years and the only time it failed was when vista UAC was blocking it from deleting an internet explorer cookie with a virus in it

If a virus program detects a virus, a virus is causing it. I've had Avast for years and it works fine for me.

Just look around the settings to see if there is some sort of exclusion/exception list that you can add on newgrounds.com. That should solve your problem.

[SteveGuzzi]

If plain old 'newgrounds.com' doesn't cover it then I would guess 'ungrounded.net' should.

I've already excluded:
*.newgrounds.*
*.ngfiles.*
*.ungrounded.*

ngads is the way to go. Also you dont need the ones you mentioned below to be excluded

They can continue being blocked with no harm to the medals.
