Default Scareware problems on voting page

This is the second time that I have clicked on Top Web Games (the second of the four daily banners) and had a fake scan pop up when I clicked. This time, my anti-virus software blocked it, but I am concerned. Random postings by outsiders in different forum topics is one thing, and it appears that those are removed when found with no problems, but I am concerned about clicking on this banner. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

FWIW those 'random postings' have nothing to do with spyware or viruses.........there's just companies that have figured out ways to write software to not only get registered, but post ads with fake accounts.

Tho I would suggest never clicking any links they post, there's nothing that should concern you other than it's annoying.

I can guarantee WE will NEVER EVER put anything even resembling spyware onsite and will KILL anything like it found by something we add or link to.

This is being looked into....and btw, COULD be tied to something THEY had for advertising, etc...

In the meantime, if you'd like to just not click that banner, but want the free money and autosell ticket, PM me and I'll give you both
