Been on for all of about ten minutes and already have about thirty pop-ups originating from this site alone. It's hurting my ability to use the site properly as every other click ends up whisking my pc's resources away to porn, crappy mmos, or tax refunding companies. Way too many ads are popping up and it's somehow going around all my security.

I've booted and rebooted but the ads and popups only appear when RPG is open. Quite annoying, and I wish I could get it to stop. I was happy to see the site even after such a tragic event with the data loss. That happened while I was away from the internet and I would have been heartbroken if the site was gone, but as of right now, I can barely use the site without running risk of downloading a bunch of random stuff. Is there anyway I can reduce the ads coming from this site?

You must got a trogen, or a adware virus from some shity shady site, or ad(some do contain this shit, which is why I use ad blocker)

I recommend downloading malewarebtyes and having it perform a full scan, that catch a lot of the shit for you.

Also I don't think spam is the best place for a thread like this, try HELP sub section next time.

We can't help you, take it to the help sub-forum, and you'll get more help.

Try an adblocker first, though. And check through your programs list and see if you can find the adware.

I have none of that happening for me. Are you sure you're not accidentally clicking the banners ads which is all we have in place? If no to that then sounds like a little bit of malware.

Sounds like you've got malware on your computer. That isn't us.

What happens when you open the site in other browsers. Maybe you can narrow it down to an infected browser.

The fact that Nat was helpful makes this thread incredibly amusing to me.

Part of me thinks that was what he was going for

Try AVG antivirus and Malware Bytes, these are free versions that are pretty good at getting rid of things like malware and adware.
