suspicious pop-up

[ghostwalkr]

Forgive me if this the wrong place for this posting, but wasn't sure where else to post.

If this is the wrong forum, please move.

Given the announcements that Dark0ne posted the last couple of days, I wanted to pass along something that I'm not sure is related.

I was browsing the 'newly added' files on the Skyrim site when I got a suspicious pop-up in my browser.

Fortunately, my AV caught it and blocked the attempt.

 

I closed my browser completely and ran a quick scan just to be on the safe side, but I thought I would pass along just case there is some suspicious activity happening.

I'm getting the same issue but it shows a different location that its coming from but tthe thing is before it happens my browser badly slows down then when that popup comes up I can only close my browser through task manager, I recommend a full antivirus sweep and malware sweep through the servers on their end because this is causing a nuisance.

Could be that the Adsense that Dark0ne is using is giving away pornographic sites .

Regardless its annoying but it can somewhat be avoided if you keep opening new tabs or refreashing them, when I idle too long it shows up.

The ads displayed on the Nexus sites are served from a 3rd party ad provider and deliver different contents for different regions.

The Nexus or Dark0ne has no control over what gets displayed in them, other than being able to report individual ads to the provider or request their removal from the rotation.

But to do that they will need more information about the actual ad served, like, as was asked for in the past every time, at least a screenshot of the specific ad that does this, maybe information about your region and other details you could gather yourself will help as well.

 

As for a full anti virus and malware sweep through "their" servers, of course the ad provider could recommend this to the individual server the regional ad is retrieved from, or the Nexus could recommend this to the ad provider at least, but I don't think on the other end anybody will even listen to it. At the end of the day the ad served more likely isn't "infected" or something but rather does all this "on purpose", a bad apple inside the ad provider's regional rotation.
