I may have to leave FC!

[sfreeman8]

1.  Adware came back after I was here yesterday.
2.  I'm getting so many ads on different pages about "Hot Deals," updating medial player (its is updated), "you are the winner - no joke!", and plenty more.
3.  This is the ONLY site that all these problems are popping up and I just can't stop and run the malware/virus software every 5 minutes.

If someone doesn't look into this soon, I'll have to leave. It's not only frustrating but it's downright aggravating trying to do jobs on here with these stupid ads flashing in my face.

Besides running the software all the time, I empty my history, cookies, and cache every few minutes while on this site. Doesn't make any difference. As soon as I try to do another job, it starts up again.

This is the only site you've having problems with?

I find that truly odd. If your computer was infected with adware it would effect everything and not just the one site

Do you have an adblocker installed?

[dsawan]

pop up blocker?

[Lindaroof]

Wow, sorry to hear that. I have never had any problems with it. There has to be a logical explanation for it. I love making the extra cash here and won't be leaving anytime soon. This is the best get paid to site that I have done.

I think you should try new malware software. Have you tried downloading the free malware software from www.malwarebytes.com and then running a quick scan with it? I usually find that works for me when I have the type of problems you are having.

[SweetApril74]

Too bad to know that, i hope you can fix it and still hang around n FC

I found a simple solution to all that by doing all my surfing with Linux. You can even run it on a thumb drive and not install it.

Yep, tried malwarebytes. It worked once, too. Microsoft Security Essentials worked twice and I didn't have to run it. It popped up with the message about adware being in my computer.

I have been messing around with program after program and nothing has worked....well, they've all worked half the time. I just downloaded another program yesterday suggested by someone on the Google forum because of my frustration, and it found the same problem with the adware program. 

It "killed" the program and removed it and to make sure, I immediately came back to FC. I could do the videos, tasks, and everything else without any popup ads or problems with anything else here, but since I'm no technie, it also removed portions of my Speed Dial that I love so much (it doesn't come up now even though it's enabled. 

I am here again today and I'm still able to do everything with no ads, so hopefully, that problem is solved.

I certainly don't want to leave FC because it is a great site, but the frustration and stress over the past month was getting to me, especially since it was only coming from this site after I would try to do my first video for the day. I know it sounds odd, but I had no trouble at all with my MT sites, Facebook, newspapers, or any variety of other sites.

As for blocking popups, these ads popped up even with my popup blocker software on. This program was really nasty, so I'm hoping it's solved now.

I sympathize with your frustration, but I want to explain something that will hopefully help explain your experience.

Certain kinds of malware and adware will monitor your browsing and deliver ads and/or popups depending on the domain or page that you visit.  Somebody who is making money from those ads simply targets fusioncash.net, and their popups appear, even though they're not actually placed on our site (hence your later ad-free experience on FC).

This really sucks for us, because we (understandably) get the blame for it, but we're not doing anything of the sort.

The answer, as others have said, lies in removing the malware/adware that is causing the problem.  You may have to format and reinstall Windows, or take your computer to a specialist.

That really is too bad.  Please see if you can get your computer repaired.  Fusioncash is not to blame.  I hope you decide to stay.

What is the name of the mal-ware program that you downloaded that solved the problem for you? 

I'm not having problems (yet), but it would be useful to know what other resources are available that have proved successful.

I got that too but I think it was because I had accepted to do a study on downloading this software for extra cash that was suppose to earn me extra money every time I did a survey but it pretty much ended up giving me a virus. I could not even get through one survey without the ads popping up and closing down the survey. I had to uninstall everything and run malwarebytes and do a full scan and the next day everything was ok!

Hope this works for you and sorry to hear about your problem!

You asked, "What is the name of the mal-ware program that you downloaded that solved the problem for you?   I'm not having problems (yet), but it would be useful to know what other resources are available that have proved successful."

I used malwarebytes, IObit Malware, Spy Hunter, and AdwCleaner.  AdwCleaner is the only one that worked. The others took the program out for a couple hours or a day, but it was right back the next day.

When downloaded, it goes to your downloads folder. It doesn't show in the Programs folder, nor on the desktop even though I wanted it there. It must run in the background, not sure. I had to do a Windows Search for it and when it shows up in the search, then I just click on it.

I am going to repeat this again since it's so simple if you are not dead set against technology. Get an 8Gb Thumb Drive from an office supply store and install a free copy of Browser Linux on it. Once you get it running use the Firefox browser that comes with it and all your problems will be GONE! I don't know why people are against trying this, but I have been doing it for years and never had a problem with any spyware or virus. If I want to run Windows, I just stay offline (unless I am positive I know where I am going is safe). Fight it if you like, but it's the simplest answer out there and you only spend five bucks. If it doesn't work, erase the thumb drive and store pictures on it.
