Hey beeant, one of your advertisements that comes up usually when I first enter the site downloads some sort of chrome premium installer that I'm sure is not legitimate. It usually happens when I first log in and click on something such as expanding comments in the feed section. It also has some sort of popup about updating java There is no guarantee that this is a virus or malware but I'm not so sure of ads that just automatically open a new window and download a .exe file without my permission. I have nothing against having advertisements on here in order to support the site, but is there any way you can keep them from doing this? I have a link to the website it keeps opening:

I think this might be a safety threat for some of the users on here.

It was bothering me too, but not that much (1) (I close the windows quickly after they pop-up). Did a search(2), and now I´m a bit worried, but I´ll see if anything is installed when I arrive at home.
(1)Norton Safe says it´s ok... but I don´t trust that.

google add block plus for your browser ITS FREE! ad free youtube :D
I do have ad-block plus but I disable it for sites that I want to help support by giving them ad revenue, which includes this site.- let me just say they pay to get the advertisement, evern if they do use us as there victims to hack
- The advertisers pay the website, but the website owners cannot control the advertisements so whoever they are getting their ads from might not be the most honest of ad partners. The advertisers are the ones that pay money, but they pay the websites that host their advertisements, which helps to keep this site free of cost.
