Woodinblack Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yes, I got one of those fake javascript windows defender pretending screen yesterday when I was visiting this site on the PC yesterday. Haven't seen anything on the mac but I do have ghostery etc on the mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yep still getting the same as OP, it's been going on for months and only when visiting basschat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I got it a couple of days ago when clicking on a BC link to Photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I've seen this twice, this year. Doesn't cause any trouble as I'm running Norton and it jumps in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yeah, I keep getting it, bloody frustrating and if I am honest it does discourage me from visiting the site as often as I used to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting it once/twice a week for several weeks, always on basschat too. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Ok I think it's one of the banners which calls up a code for an external tracker. Its 100% safe but presumably triggering a virus warning in some systems. I'll stop it and see if we can change the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That screenshot looks to me like a fake virus warning - I've seen similar where you're invited to call 'Microsoft' (and then probably be invited to hand over some payment by credit card). In other words it's a scam pop-up. Edited July 3, 2017 by HowieBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I got it again just now. I've been on the laptop for 40 minutes or so, 1 minute after I opened basschat up the b*****d pops again. Very annoying because it's not easy to get rid of. I use task manager. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulWarning Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 this is about the longest I've gone without this pop up, hopefully it's been sorted, thanks in anticipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I've been away for three nights and not been on the net at all. As soon as I clicked to open basschat tonight, up it pops again. I'm sick of these people. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Its not sorted - i was getting it today on a Windows 10 laptop in Chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketflup Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 I have to say, I've not seen it for a while now, so something that has been done has changed it for some users. Just for the record, I run windows 10 and use IE 11 as my browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I got it just now. Had it on and off for months.Something dodgy going on with one of the banner ad partners maybe? Most likely it's coming into the site that way I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
