Amourus Ad [Virus alert]
10 years ago
So one thing I love is gaming .Saw a add for the dating game Amourus . Figured what the hell right ? Well I never downloaded it because when I got to the site knew it was sketchy as fuck.
Whelp my mate dose it anyway . Sound drive crashes video crashes . Had to get ride of it and restart my comp. Heads up FA you are advertising a program that hurts comps . -__-
Now just waiting to see if credit information was stolen of steam . Wish my mate actual thought first before he let his dick download a game that could have stole information while I had my steam up and checking my banking.
: D So hey guys if you wanna play a cool game called fuck your shit up play Amourus . I swear it's like FA dose not even check it's ads.

The problem is the link used. It's common for people making malware to create fake sites and infected downloads of games, programs, movies, whatever, and trick you into clicking them. That's why, when looking for a new game to play, you should never ever click on ads; look them up yourself. The same goes for anything, really. Programs, movies, whatever. Never trust ads.
There is a neat tool called Web Of Trust, an add on available for some browsers, including Firefox and Internet Explorer. If a site is known to be dangerous, it will actually stop you from entering the site. It has a rating system and, when you search sites, it will tell you which sites are deemed safe and which aren't. Green sites are the safest ones to enter, while orange and red should be avoided. Unknowns, I also avoid, personally.
This is something that people should learn. Viruses are not the only thing that can cause problems on a computer. It's important to distinguish what is actually causing the problem. Because if the issue is not virus related, then no amount of viral scans will help.
Now I thought it sounded familiar but payed it no mind. Until I logged in FA and saw the ad . So rushed to make the journal to warn and vent a lil about this. It's happen before with downloads and miss leading sites that is why I always check. My mate on the other hand....God I love him but he is a first result clicker . XD
Also, not sure what browser you are running, but try to see if you can get Adblock Plus instead. Firefox has it, I know. I think Opera and Chrome have their own versions as well. It's a nice add-on that blocks out all or most ads, so you no longer see them.
