Pop-up?
   

New poster here. Anyway, I was chatting with someone and I accidentally clicked on an add here, I don't know which one or I'd say. Suddenly pop-ups galore (some of 'em were porn) and that spyware go-hip tried to install itself more than once. Luckily I have my browser set so nothing is installed without my say so. I wish I could be more helpful, just thought I'd give a heads up and yes, I have no spyware.

As far as I understand there are no ads on RPGDot that don't originate from our server, so it just isn't possible that the problem came from RPGDot. I'm sure Rend will confirm that.

No ads here that aren't from our server. It could well be that your browser was highjacked. Try "Spybot - search and destroy" - free software that will eliminate those trojans (search for it on Google). I recently did a check for spyware on my computer and spybot eliminated app. 60 of them.

Since today, we are running a campaign for Silent Storm, but again: this one is served from our server. No external invocation code here. This is something we stopped about 6 months ago.
