Trojan Horse in the Forum?

[wyq614]

My computer has problem now, it pops up advertisement webpages automatically and sometimes it pops up three or four simultaneously. Every time I have to shut down all of the pop-ups to continue navigating. However recent days I noticed that if I turn on the computer without logging onto this forum, there will be no pop-ups. But when I browse this form the pop-ups will function in a few minutes. I guess if there is some posibility that this forum contains trojan horse somehow?

We do constant system checks and we did not discover any viruses or trojan horses. I'll contact the host so they can run a check behind the scenes and if it comes back with anything questionable we will let you know.

If anyone else is experiencing a similar issue please let us know by responding in this thread. If it's only pertaining to one user then we can communicate it accordingly and ask for suggestions.

I use Mozilla Firefox. Everytime when I log onto the forum, pop-ups will automatically occur after a few minutes, they are Spanish advertisement teaching you how to make money.

No problems at all here. I also use Firefox.

Does that Spanish ad pops up each time (particularly) or do you get random ads each and every time?

As Milos said, nothing wrong. Mozilla Firefox and Chrome usually have pop-ups blocking add-ons or something like that.

It is not random ads, there are three specific ad websites.

This is one of them, I don't understand why the ESCUNITED address can appear in the address bar of the advertisement

url = Noticia Del Día: Las Noticias al momento

And also this one, it says SectionId=escunited.com
