DemocratUnderground ... Virus Issues?
« on: November 03, 2021, 02:41:57 PM »
Is anyone else getting some really hinky stuff popping up on their computer if you go to DU from a laptop/desktop computer?

My iPhone will shut down over and over and I've never had that problem with my laptop, but now I'm getting redirects when I'm on their page and scam windows opening up.  They can't get through the firewall and I'm not clicking on anything, but I wonder if EarlG has oversold his advertising and now has some 'bugs' crawling his site.

Haven't encountered that problem as of late, but it has happened in the past for me.

Good luck, hopefully a temporary glitch. :cheersmate:

I use Chrome on my PC and the adblocker racks up a quick 8-10 blocked ads on every page.

AdBot is working overtime to help Lord Marblehead pay off the note on the site.

Wouldn't surprise me to find out most DUmmies have been inundated with ads for razor blades and sleeping pills after the reality check they got handed last night at the polls.

You know, when you mention DU and virus in the same sentence, computers are not the first thing that comes to my mind.

Heh.  Thought about that after I hit 'post'.

I will make a strong case that everything on DU can be considered "hinky stuff".
