Has this issue been addressed? Let me know what I can tell our league members. A description of the issue is set forth below.
Mark Blocker
Description of issue:
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.
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.
>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.
