We only use a reputable advertising service on here, so no, you should never get any kind of virus or malware from any advertising you click on while on the forums.
If you do come across an ad that you believe is a virus or malware, please bring it to my or any admin's attention via PM. We need the name of the advertiser as well as the link, if you can provide it, to research further with our ad partner. Thank you. __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

ok do you want the one from yesterday that i *think* caused a upset in my computer? i'll send it if i can
i dont know for sure though cause it might be windows 10 messing cause a few weeks ago it decided it wanted to reinstate reinstall or something itself or something idk if i making sense now, the advert itself said something about cycledelic or psychaldelic or something i have no idea all i do know is it was when i was in chat and while trying to close the advert it decided to open itself into a link

No, sorry, you cannot choose which advertisements you see.
