    Default Is this site infected


    Just recently, when on this site, I have been getting a window pop up stating the my malware protection software (Malwarebyes) has detected and blocked a virus. The window says "Malicious Website Blocked". The name of this virus is n1.smartyads.com". I would highly recommend not clicking on this address. Heaven only knows where it would take you. Have any of you experienced this problem? I researched this problem and found lots of complaints on the internet but no solutions that seem to work.

    If you have a fix for this problem please let me know.

    Thanks for your help.

    Might want to try this : http://malwarefixes.com/threats/n1-smartyads-com/

    Everything I've read about it says it likely hitches a ride on "downloads" and tries to redirect traffic to click on other programs & ads, many of which are browser hijackers & other virus ridden programs/sites.

    I'm surprised, however, that your Malwarebytes says it "blocked it" rather than deleted it/quarantined it. I use the free version, update & scan with it at least once a week. I have not seen this malware appear on my computer, and I'm on here several times a day, pretty much every day.

    I have had this same issue for a while. Thank God I have an Apple system to stop the adware. A few years ago I lost a three month old laptop due to this. My work servers are highly protected and at times won't let me on this site.
