| 1401924 | 2015-06-03 11:19:00 | Hey everyone recently i have been seeing lots of ads via speed test and other random sites . They look similar say when i go to other sites so to make it easier to understand say if i see a message saying " Click here you have got a new message " i get that on other sites too . Is this some malware causing it or just random advertisements popping up ? Also are you also affected by this ? |
