    Never heard about Qadabra before. May be the virus is a part of marketing strategy to sell other apps (antivirus) :)

    If your earning is reduced by 95% than this indicates that your website may be blocked in appnexus or rightmedia and unfortunately if that happens than you won't get better rate in any ad network because a good portion of ad network use appnexus and rightmedia and 95% of your traffic may be going to Qadabra partner who may be using these ad server.

    I still have not got an answer why not show Qadabra ads on my site. Twice I contacted support via email , but even after 48 hours I have not received a response.

    As mentioned by the official, they have got nothing to do with the malware/virus spreading ads. They are just a link between the advertiser and the publisher. However, they should do a manual check on all the ads that run through Qadabra's platform, as people will say things like 'Don't use Qadabra, they spread virus' Just for the sake of Qadabra's own reputation.

    Agreed. they pretty much killing their own reputation with those malicious stuff..
    AdSense known as n.1 advertiser & publisher network for 1 good reason, they protect both advertisers from bad sites & publishers from bad advertisers.
    This is why they will always be number one.

    They do have to do with it, if you are running their ad tags, and you get malware/viruses - then its coming from them as far as you are concerned, and they are still liable to protect their publishers... unless they don't care (which is what it sounds like).

    Most of the good networks don't allow that kind of garbage and to hear a network say they have nothing to do with it, mean while they do, they are the middle man facilitating the spread of malicious creatives...its disgusting.

    But people will still use them cause they think they are going to make a lot of money.

    @wrekoniz3 yeah 1 left and 2 more joins their network and this is why many networks not care about the plight of publishers. as website owners its our responsibility to protect our visitors and as platform it is their responsibility to protect publishers >> all is about ethics but sadly world is driven by money.

    Its unfortunately true. There aren't many networks out there which have the goal of being a good company.
