"This site may harm your computer." - Thanks Clicksor for badlist for Malware!!

    I only just started using Clicksor a few months ago and was satisfied until I woke up today and found this:

    [​IMG]

    And when I navigate to the site in my browser, I get this:

    [​IMG]

    So whenever anyone visits my site they get put off with this warning...

    Upon further inspection I found that it was Clicksor's ad code that was responsible:

    [​IMG]

    Google Webmsater Tools further confirmed it:

    My traffic has now nose dived - using Clicksor has single handedly killed my site. I can only repair the damage when Google reviews my site, which I just submitted after REMOVING Clicksor's code. Unbelievable.

    take out the infected ads and use or submit your site for diagnosis to google webmaster tool. usually it only takes hours and the virus warning will be lifted

    Thanks, but I already know this. This is mainly aimed at Clicksor, a large ad-serving network that has inflicted this upon my website.

    Clicksor is terrible, terrible ad network. I can't believe people are still using them. I put the code on my website home page once and the very first time I clicked on the page it set off my anti virus software.

    Avoid this ad network like the plague.

    this is not new mostly everyone know that who use them but still webmaster use them because by redirecting and showing multiple ads virus some how they get higher rates in compare to other network

    I would suggest if you care for your traffic then use network which take these things seriously and proven to be good for clean ads

    We all know clicksor always has virus alerts and because of that many time google ban website

    I used clicksor once and regretted it too. Besides the malware, the ads are just terrible quality. Good luck getting that situation rectified!

    They still haven't addressed their problems, so I'm just going to use another ad network. They're a damn disgrace with their lackluster response to this appalling issue.

    Clicksor has a high reputation on that. I have not tried them though but I have heard a lot of publishers get their website malware from displaying Clicksor ads on their websites.

    Anyhow, I am very sorry to hear that.
