<div dir="ltr">Wondering if the rest of you have seen an annoying uptick in a malicious pop-up on the onroto site. It's a redirect to a fake McAfee warning message, including the usual dire warning about malware (and of course directions
to click on something to subscribe to McAfee). As I understand it, there are also versions mocked up for other security software (e.g., Norton). It's absolutely clear to me that it's coming from onroto.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I assume you're all savvy enough not to click. However, it's getting really annoying. I've tweaked up everything I can think of--pop-up blocker, security settings, etc., but that doesn't seem to be enough to ward it off. This
morning, I had to close onroto three times in the course of about five minutes.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">From what I understand, the problem is that onroto sells advertising to some sketchy advertisers. Their ads implement the redirects regardless of whether you click on them.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">So, for all--beware. And for Mark B, is it worth sending an annoyed note to onroto? One annoyed note won't make them do anything, but perhaps they're getting similar messages from others. And, since they have a new owner,
perhaps there's an opportunity to nudge them in the direction of cleaning up their mess.</div>

Thanks.</div>
