So, I was browsing the forums a couple of minutes ago and minimized Firefox to check on something. My Firefox opened up and the Argonath forums tab was redirected to a "VirusDoctor/Rootscan." After that I got a pop-up which prohibited me from closing the tab. I've also been getting random pop-ups while browsing the forums. So, I ask.. watdufuxup?
By the way, apologies if it's in the wrong section, I couldn't find a more suitable location.

I have never gotten a popup from argo :S
-
I've been getting a shitload of popups and stuff only from the argo forums...
Sometimes i'll be browsing the forums and all of a sudden I hear people talking like a video is running but I can't see anything. Then if I close only that Argo tab, it goes away. Sometimes a pop-up thing comes up and I have to close it. And sometimes it redirects the page to some random website and I have to close it and find the topic I was at again..
-
Check, maybe there is a program that enables those stupid pop-ups for publicity or something, for most of all users it works just fine including me. :)

Well I know it's definitely not me, unless I happen to have a virus that ONLY makes pop-ups on www.argonathrpg.eu. Which would be really silly.

Same thing here, it's really odd. :trust:

You fail lavamike :D Theres an MP3 Player added on www.argonathrpg.eu wich plays songs like GTA Intro etc.
:ps: I got popup too from www.argonathrpg.eu but I usually only use forum so I havent noticed it :P

Yeah, I sometimes got strange erotic pop-ups few months ago, especilly using Firefox...
I am afraid it can still pop up... it just depends if the ad company wants it or not I guess.
-
I get those pop-ups too, and some of them have virus'. My AV is good enough to immediatley remove them though.
-
I used to get them.. I installed the Adblock extension for firefox.. and didn't get them no more.
-
Never gotten such stuff with IE or Chrome...
-
Just when I was reading this topic, my page got redirected toward another website twice. I even got several popups showing up on the forum once in a while.
-
Well that seems wierd as im using firefox and use the argo forums and not noticed any kind of popups or had any webpage redirections :trust:

No, I don't even use the home page. I am talking about the forums.
Say I have 2 tabs open. One with me wrtiting this post, one with Google. Sometimes I will start hearing people talking and then if I close this tab or click post/go to a new page on this tab it stops. There is no MP3 player on the forums, and what i'm hearing isn't music. It's either 2 people talking like they are filming a porno or something or it's that stupid "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE ONE A FREE IPOD! CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!"

We have had a long time ago an ad company that was running sound ads, however as far as I know they never went in to business.
Perhaps they are only targetting US users. If anyone has this, PM me.

Gandalf, I have to inform you that I've had quite a few ads redirect me from my current page on these forums lately, and they won't allow you to press the back button. You have to manually select it from the drop-down list to get back to the original page. Happened to me not even 2 minutes ago. Your ads are starting to become like MySpace's and slip in malicious adverts and redirects.
Just to answer the issue, yes, I am in the United States.

Nothing wrong here. (In Estonia, for me at least)
