Malicious attack/virus report

[maryann2657]

How do i report a malicious attack attempt maid by one of the advertisers?  I clicked on the daily email today and when i closed the final ad-page it tried to bring up a bunch of pop-up/pop/under pages and then tried to infect my computer!  Fortunately by internet security software cause the threat and blocked it before it reached my computer but doesn't FC check the ads before sending it to the masses and or have a link to report such abuse?  We can't/won't participate if our computer is infected!  I'm new here and this seems to be better than any other ad revenue sharing site but if this continues to happen i'll have to wonder.

Yes i have my virus protector on all the time it is wise to take precautions. Maryann

you can download a program called sandboxie as well, it allows you to use any program on your computer without it affecting your hard drive. I've gotten rogue antispyware while using a "sandboxed" chrome browser once, I deleted everything in the sandboxie program with one click and in less then 2 seconds the rogue antispyware was gone. Also had an attack where the tabs keep opening up when I try to close one(scary stuff without this nifty program) I deleted everything in the sandboxie program and it was gone!!!!! Works for downloads!!!!

I use IE8 and have had problems with malware as well. I have malwarebytes now and it seems to be helping, knock on wood.

I use IE8 also. "Microsoft Security Essentials" seems to do very well at stopping viruses, malware, spyware and adware. Works well with FC also. Just a suggestion.
