Sonofbeast2.0 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Please look at post #3! I have used the website many times. I use it to find out some of my rumor news for theme/amusement parks (yes I understand not the most reliable website)... Most of you probably know that when you go to a website (with no ad Blocker, because on cell phone) their is a second page that will pop up on the website, the page is just an ad. I usually close it and go on my marry way but... This morning (30min ago) I had a porn website pop up as the second page ad! This upsets me quiet a bit! I am saying this as a warning because NO one wants to be on a park news website and have a porn ad pop up! Before anyone says anything, its NOT because of my past history of websites either........ My phone's web browser is solely used for looking up news. (CNN,IGN, Dvice, ScreamScape etc.) I also assure you none of the websites I used (until today...) have had porn ad(s)!!! I have emailed the guy that is in charge of adding news saying I like the site but a porn ad is unacceptable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I hate that kind of garbage - and I bet Screamscape knew nothiing about it. That's a couple of too bads. I hope it gets fixed quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 So the guy emailed me back (rather nice guy) saying that every month a new batch of advertisements comes out, their is a rare off chance that something bad may slip though. Well we figured out odds are that wasn't the problem... the ad company that does their ad's wouldn't allow something like that to happen he said. He said their was a video game ad on the website that said Adults Only and because of that their was some negative feedback and that ad was pulled by the guy in charge of ScreamScape. He told me another guy had a similar issue on his Ipad to find out that is was an app doing it... When I ran my virus scan the first time it said intrusive adware. it was a app I had on my phone for a very long time so I was thinking surly it couldn't of been it to cause it and after drawing a possible conclusion it was probably the app, so that app is gone! So because of the possible chance ScreamScape actually has an issue the title of this is getting changed to Advisory about ScreamScape. Sorry for anyone I got over concerned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I've gotten a virus from the site and had to wipe my computer clean before. Yeah, that sucked. I didn't go to the site for probably 2 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 You would not be the only one. For many years, my employer blocked access to that site. It was one of VERY few so blocked. The advisory pop-up said the site "Contains Malware: BLOCKED." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Now that you metion it‚ seems like i did get a virus from this website before too... (Im pretty sure this wasn't the case this time) I was lucky enough to have it cleaned off the computer before it killed it. I wish viruses for computers werent possible... Something that Apple always pushed‚ but even a ps3 can get a virus... It's the way the system is made will effect how defenseful it is. If it has a processor in it‚ odds are it can get a virus.

BB1 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Since this is of the same topic, please understand that everything on ScreamScape is not true, the site is full with rumors, but I have yet to see the rumor of the all knowing donkey coaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has a processor in it odds are it can get a virus. the reason apples don't get a lot of viruses is because 1. Less people have them compared to pc's and 2. Viruses are harder to write for apples operating software than windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
