I've checked finheaven forums, Not saying that something hasn't sneaked by, but there are anti-virus programs that give false positives. Myself I've surfed as vip, non vip, admin, etc using windows 7 and Avg and haven't had one hiccup.

Finheaven redirecting to spam sites!?

anyone else have problems of Finheaven redirected randomly to some spam sites?

 

[Wildbill3]

can you screenshot the ads that were running on finheaven?

Its the free internet. Get used to it. We want free internet and we want it serene. Thats a thing of the past. Everything cost money. You want no popups? Pay for it. Bitching about it is unbecoming.

yeah it is getting annoying.....

Next time it comes up I will, then... later... and I can't on the ones that popup the "Your computer is infected, scanning now!" Because I have to close the whole tab to get out of them...

Thanks for the advice, you wise old sage you. Clearly there is nothing wrong with virus-filled ads on free sites. It's just how the internet works I guess! Let me go tell all the other free sites I use about this riveting news, they'll be happy to hear this turn of events, I think.

well, if our site has ad companies that are hosting ads that have virus redirects/popup/popunders we definately would like to get that fixed.

Could you screenshot the ads that are on the site when it happens? That way we can figure out what ads may be causing it. Don't screenshot the pop ups, screenshot finheaven when it happens and post it here please.

Yep. I'm getting it a bit too. It is kind of annoying.
