TOPIC | Ad tried to download trojan
I was playing fairground games, and a norton security pop-up ad came up between rounds. I tried to continue playing, ignoring the pop-up, and then got a notification that my antivirus had just blocked an attempt to download a trojan virus.

I've been getting malware pop ups too. Sometimes I'll be on Flight Rising and then suddenly a new tab will pop up with some scam or a website trying to get me to download something. I also keep getting ads that block part of the screen on the top right of the website.

If this keeps happening I'm gonna have to enable adblock on this website, which I really don't want to do because it hurts FR's ad revenue. But I can't risk getting malware on my laptop :/

I had to turn on adblock. Sorry FR, fix your stuff. You usually have fairly relevant ads for me, and I've never had issue with them, so I whitelisted you. But since these problems I've reblocked your ads until you can remove these virus ads

ABD, hopefully this issue gets sorted out soon! Looks like there's a lot of others experiencing these intrusive ads.

Hello everyone! I'm really sorry to hear about this issue, because ads should never be obtrusive like this. Please go ahead and make reports in the Advertising Report Thread, rather than here! This way, all the reports are in the same place. Thank you!
