securevault.top warning

[Funkytown]

Site: purplepainforums.com/

I've been seeing this securevault.top warning lately. A lot. A few other users have recently reported it, too.

What can we do?

1. Is it random or is it consistent with a specific action or visiting a particular thread, board, etc?
2. Is this when using desktop, mobile, or both?
3. Would you be able to post a screenshot of the error message?

I'm not seeing any errors after making 12 clicks at random on your forum. However, I do see what looks like ads that you added yourself. Per the ToS, you cannot add your own ads unless you are paying for ad-free with ProBoards. Maybe ad-free is just disabled for guests though, which is the smart thing to do. If you have a screenshot of the error, feel free to share it.

Seems to be random, from what I can tell. I assumed it was just happening to me, until a few others mentioned it today.

I believe it's a mobile issue.

I'll post a screenshot soon.

Essentially, the page freezes and redirects to that warning, acting as if the site/device is infected.

Ahh okay. Maybe it's just disabled for guests then. I wasn't trying to be annoying. I was only mentioning it because I didn't want you to get into trouble.

All is good. I was just clarifying that we do pay for that and place our own ads.

Could that be the problem?

Just got the warning now when I was trying to reply to a post. It seems random, though.

Anyway, it'll start freezing/thinking, and then redirects to this page. It's happened to me dozens of times.

Naughty ads can come from almost any ad provider, but I'm not sure if I want to blame this on a bad ad yet.

Do you have a guest thread by chance? If yes, I can try to replicate the error from my phone. I currently can't replicate it from the phone or computer by just clicking around though.

Might be an ad issue after all.

A member said that it happens after a McAfee ad pops up. He said this:

It pops up when this little thing on the bottom come up. It's a McAfee ad. I doubt it has anything to do with McAfee. I also only see it on my iPhone and Ipad. If you try to scroll up, back or anything, or try to close it, it goes to the secure crap site.
