Hi all,
Once again, we want to thank those who are reporting these bad ads, especially when you are able to give us a screen shot. It can help us tremendously, since we report every bad ad to our ad-ups team, in the hopes that they can find and eliminate them on a case-by-case basis. In the near future we hope to be able to handle these on a larger scale. Until then we thank you for your continued patience in working with us.
Paul

Can't do a screenshot at present but had 2 now whilst browsing the main page of the British Airways forums.
https://www.gamiss.com/?utm_source=webgains&siteid=207485
That's the address of the US? site that replaces the page completely in IE11.
No idea which ad on screen might be triggering this.
Mentions track.webgains.com before the above page loads.

Problem with Ads redirection without clicking anything
Hello,
Sometimes I got redirected to a page with fake virus warning ads without clicking anything, has anyone encountered to this recently? There is no sign of adware or virus on my laptop (if there is there would be more ads), so I believe is the ads itself that has a nasty function to redirect my page. Moderators, could you please check this?
Thanks

"Your computer is infected" - issues with Flyertalk on Mac?
Several times now, when visiting the Flyertalk site (and only the Flyertalk site) my browser redirects to a page that looks like it could be from Apple telling me that my Macbook may be infected with a virus - says there are three possible issues - and to click to run a scan. There's no way I'm doing that and I've run my own antivirus software scan and there don't seem to be any issues - I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing or if it's something specific to my computer?

Malware? Have you given it a scrub with Malwarebytes?

Please see the Technical Feedback Forums.
Those are malicious Ads trying to use your gullibility to install malwares. Internet Brands use ads providers that provide either illegal/malignant ads knowingly and do not act on this long time common feedback.

Others are indeed describing something similar and it appears to be (very) dodgy advertising.
