Forum:Ya'll seem to have a virus-carrying ad

Sorry if I'm doing this wrong, but I only joined to let somebody know that there is an ad carrying the Vista Anti-Virus 2011 virus in the ads roulette. I don't know if this is on every Wikia site, but I have gotten twice on two separate computers off of Wookieepedia. While some may think I'm making wild accusations, both times it has happened were when I was only on that site with multiple tabs open. The first time was on a laptop running Vista, the second on a desktop running Windows 7. Also, I don't want any crap about how I should get Firefox or Google Chrome. If you don't have anything useful to say, please don't comment. It gets annoying.


 * That malware has been floating about the internet for a while - it would be helpful if you could specify which ad has been causing the problem, as that way Wikia can disable that ad provider until they've purged the malware from their system.
 * As I already said, I had multiple tabs open. I don't think I would be fast enough to see what ads were on the page if I only had one tab open, unfortunately. It's a bit sudden, because the internet closes unexpectedly. And thank you for the response, I wasn't sure if this was the beginning of the issue or not, since I use that site quite often and hadn't gotten anything until a few days ago.

 * We take malware very seriously, as it is something we certainly don't want associated with Wikia. Unfortunately, it is very hard to track down unless you can give us a description of the site you were on and what the ad looked like. If this happens again or you think you can provide any helpful details now or in the future (we certainly hope not in the future, though), please Special:Contact us. One of my roles here at Wikia is to follow up on all reports, so your report certainly won't go unnoticed :). --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:43, April 7, 2011 (UTC)
