    I am having the same issue and wish for this linkvertise to be removed from my site. It's invasive and makes the site look unsafe for me.

    Solved "URL: malvertising" on the forum index and portal

    Post by WizardT March 9th 2023, 7:53 am

    Hello! I Every time I enter the forum index or the portal I get a message from my antivirus programme (Avast) which says that a threat has been secured: "publisher.linkvertise.com", "URL: malvertising". I am not an expert but I think this might me caused by one of the ads automatically run on the forum. Here is a screenshot: https://i.servimg.com/u/f73/20/47/08/64/kfd10.png. The link to the forum is: https://bgmagic.bulgarianforum.net/. Please provide assistance, as this might deter users from entering the forum. I am the owner. The forum version is invision.
    I should note that following the virus alert the toolbar with the notifications disappeared - it might have been blocked by Avast?

    the problem was reported on 10:00 local time
    our tech team is already working on this

    Thank you for your patience.

    note : meanwhile you can add an exception to your page to the antivirus, and remove those URL's that are on the Avast blacklist

    Hello,

    This problem was due to a resource from an external service used by Forumotion which was blacklisted by certain antivirus software.

    After the intervention of the technical team, the problem should be solved now. Could you confirm that please?

    We are sorry for this incident and the inconvenience caused, thank you for your understanding :rose:

    Best regards.
