BTW to anyone running XP......service pack 2 does a hell of a good job blocking popups.

Get McAfee VirusScan Enterprise v7.1.0 and Avant Browser. That's the kind of protection against viruses and popups I have.

I need anyone who has spotted trojan ads to respond to this thread with the specific URL where they saw it. If it was the Portal VIEW page, what age range was the submission rated for? There are different ads based on different ratings. Please respond, and we'll deal with these ads!

I dont realy know if this is a virus, but i have a realy good popup blocker and it blockes almost everything, but it still get this add labbled AMEX, check it out, it could be a virus or somthing

Response to Virus Crackdown 2004-09-13 19:02:39


I've only been here a few days, but hopefully with the production costs you may rake in from the console version of Alien Hominid (yeah i think it looks good.) It may really help the webservers and everything. Maybe no more Ads for a while even hopefully. But like that stickers cartoon explained, "the money will go towards the stickers we have produced, and the stickers that we will produce.)

I keep getting hit by these AOL ads. They try to get something by my pop up blocker and virus software and it freezes up internet explorer and causes my speakers to make weird hisses.

It just happened again when I went to view this movie http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/180007

I agree, I mean, this site even has a colection protesting them!

Response to Virus Crackdown 2004-09-13 19:05:59


It's amazing that these adds only annoy me on FIreFox.

Thanks for giving a care, Tom.

Good looking Tom :) I sometimes run into a trojan when I go to the Portal. I've never gotten a virus anywhere else though on the site.
