Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...

I've been around ragezone for quite a long time, minaly in the L2 departments. I log onto ragezone from ALOT of differant computers. At work, we have a couple dozen work stations we alternate between. Everytime I log onto ragezone there, I get a popup add that trys to make the comptuer open and install outlook express... Wtf?

I get annoying pop ups from other computers.

My home PC, I cleared my cahce and cookies, and open up rageszone, Pop up, and then AVG pops up with a virus alert. WTF RAGEZONE?!


As I sit here typing this complaint, other popups came and tried to install antivirus and other bullshit onto my computer, but AVG and another program intercepted them... Ragezone... Wtf?

I GM on your L2 server... But I cant keep visiting ragezone, and I'm sure your going to lose alot of potential members with bullshit like this... What happend to the good classic ragezone? Ragezone selling out? Wtf?

i dont have a problem with it, its just you.

You've probably just got a BHO or other type of add-ware and it pops up when you visit Ragezone.

Somebody hates you I'm guessing

Happens to me when I'm not logged in. Happens no matter where I'm at. It's not that big of a deal to me.

ya was an annoyance, but not a big deal till i get the infection alert this time logging in.

Aye, you get the occasional pop-up if you're not logged in on the main page but none of them try to install Viruses =\

Yeah it happens to me when im not logged in also, just login to fix the problem :D

Get firefox? and a popup blocking addon.

true, no viruses oh teh ads

ragezone would never try to put a virus on your computer, get a virus scanner etc mate

It seems I wasnt able to stop the infection.. ragezone and hotmail are the only sites i've been to today... I on a full blown scan now trying to clean up the stuff.

I dont believe rageozne gave it to me, I believe ragezone was loose with letting who it lets advertise on its site.

Dont get me rong, if no one else at all has had this issue, it would make it pretty apparent "this guys must be a dumbass"
I'm jstu trying to point out, Happy computer, I visited ragezone, got a popup,, then got virus's...

Through a short little test, I have concluded that I am still getting pop ups whileletting a ragezone window sit open. I'm also gettings Ad's within the browser window on the ragezone site.

Going to other Lineage sites and google searchs and what not do not yeild these same results of ragezone window is closed.

I guess RAgezone hates me....

i guess you just triple posted, try not to do it again mate i know you were excited

rz is not giving you a virus, dont you think it was possible you got it before you came here?

there is an in depth discussion on the matter here
http://forum.ragezone.com/f250/serios-busness-246504/

I never too kteh tiem to see how the multi quote worked...

I figured out that the issue was IE's fault, which i guess falls onto me. I was cleaning up my PC today clearing all files and what not, doing this for some reason set IE to accept all cookies and not block popups and security lvl of none. Or, someone pulled a prank on me.... anyway, I still dont trust those popups... but I beleive it was IE's setting that allowed my comptuer to fall victim to it. Case closed i guess.

I only get popups when I'm logged out.
After I'm logged I dont have popups

I do get a pop up the first time I use RZ on a browser. I need to load the page once more else I cant enter the Id or password. Gets lil bugging but thats only at teh start.

If I dont close the browser - the problem is gone.

BTW, the pop up leads me to a porn site. Wazzup with that?? Saying - get hookers close and cheap. LOL.

I've never ever gotten a popup on RageZone tbh..

But then again, I'm usually logged in when I'm on :icon6:

same with fraggy.

I've never gotten a pop-up from ragezone. If I did ff would block it and if something tried to download, fire fox would ask me if I wanted to download it, but BEFORE that nod32 would warn me and prevent anything (if it was malicious). Also Prevx1 would have a say if it was a trojan, so I'm not getting anything from anybody.

sucks to get a virus anyways. hate them, anti-virus programs have difficult times getting some out.

jup it's true

a friend of mine had the exact same problem

he used avg to

well what do u expect from a free program
use nod32 :p

Never happened to me <3 Firefox

I seriously doubt the pop-up's were actual virii, probably just some malicious javascript (like scripts that pop-up windows that can't be closed, or scripts that loop pop-up scripts so it just keeps popping-up windows over and over, endlessly.)

These scripts and others like them aren't viruses, and most of them don't even use browser exploits, but any half-decent anti-virus software, and even some anti-spyware software, will detect them, and save you from pulling out your hair in anger.

If you're using IE, you might want to pay a bit of attention to the browser's settings and also install a pop-up blocker.
The same goes for FF.
And the same with Opera, except the pop-up blocker, as it has one built in.
Any other browser...well, you should probably switch to one of the above mentioned.

when i am not logged in i get only ONE popup and it gets blocked by Firefox... when i am logged in i have nothing, its all kool...


Maybe u have a spybomb or something...
