@LordofSky Another good thing to have is a "known bad site blocker" that will prevent your browser from being redirected to sites known to host malware.
I use "Spyware Blaster" on all my computers. It's free and easy to use. The only downside is you have to remember to update it about every other week to add any new malware sites to its protection.
They have a paid version that will do the updating for you automatically also.
If a site (or ad) tries to redirect you to a harmful site, (even invisibly in the background), Spyware Blaster will block it.
As Pavchka said, an individual site like Basilmarket doesn't control what ads appear on their site, the ad server companies do that.
During an outbreak of malware popups coming from ads, Google finally admitted that approximately 20% of their ads that they checked contained malware.
That means ANY site, not just Basilmarket, that shows ads can cause problems for anyone visiting any site with ads.
It's important to have blockers in place that can protect against that.
get google chrome
get adblock
nice
Ad block works wonders.
i just got ad block for firefox and it's way faster now, i'm making $4000 a week from home
Have you submitted a ticket? MrBasil isn't very active in the forums, so he probably won't see this thread. He doesn't pick the ads himself, by the way. As far as I know the ads you see are based on your browser history and keywords in threads.
Ad Block, you can fix it yourself.
Then everyone is happy, you don't get adds and Basil doesn't have to see you post about something that you can fix yourself.
