XAPads Displaying Syware & Redirecting My Traffic?

    Has anyone received any problems with XAPads?

    Basically I was getting some complaints that ads were downloading spyware onto computers and visitors were being redirected to dodgy web sites without asking.

    I found it happening to me and the only ad unit that did not load up just before being redirected was the XAPad one.

    I've removed their ad code and have no received no more of these problems.

    Has anyone else had this problem with them?

    Just don't put again code in your site! They send spyware and is not good for your site!

    I heard people have that issue before. I guess don't use it, otherwise your visitors might leave.

    I've had issues like this before with Adbrite & Clicksor (they were new then and quickly sorted this out) and when I contacted them they would aknowledge it and sort the problem out, XAPads are blankly denying it is anything to do with them.

    Which is a shame.

    I've removed them from both my sites and won't be using them again.

    I'm also keeping a close eye on Smowtion who are new to my blogs.
