I have read so many posts and responses, I want to carve my eyes out. The reason I am not responding to any of those particular posts and creating an entirely new one is that I am not even sure if this issue is being fixed and which forum I should respond to.
I have been working on a forum here on forumotion to help the business I work at. We are a candy company that have distributors all over the United States. It was my goal to create a portal (another site I am making) so that they can better communicate with each other. I wanted to add a forum to this so I found forumotion and liked what I saw on the outside. I have successfully created my forum for them to use and was getting ready to start registering them... Until this problem arose and I am scared to have them on the site in general.
Malicious ads. Or are they ads? I'm not even sure. All I know is that, once a day (as far as I know), per computer, I will get onto my forum and the first tab/link/whatever that I click to access more of my forum pops up a new tab on my browser with numerous versions of the same sort of thing telling me I have malicious software trying to delete my hard drive or putting viruses on my computer. Now I'm not stupid. I know that they are fake and are scare tactics to make you want to click on the "OK" and/or call the numbers associated. I can get out of them just fine (after being crafty about getting around them) but I KNOW that these older distributors are NOT going to be like me. I do not want to put anyone in this sort of danger by going to, what should be, a safe and protected forum for their use.
I have a screenshot of the one that popped up today... https://i.servimg.com/u/f97/19/52/39/04/malici10.png
Please let me know what other information I can give. I need this site to be ready for them to use soon, but I do not feel at ease knowing this could happen on their screens, putting them in danger. That and I don't really want hate mail in my inbox with a slew of complaints.
Thanks so much! Sorry for the giant post. I'm at my wits end here.
