I was unable to copy a screenshot.. I selected the entire page and pasted it on IF editor. The screen had a encircled -(minus) sign in red and had this warning. If possible, i will try to post it.. I dont have screen capture s/w. I just wanted to warn u about this. A safe way of browsing IF is via a proxy/browser that re-optimize web pages and eliminate those ads from that site. I am using ucweb browser, on mobile, which is 100%safe mobile third party application. For PC, you should go for a safe online anonymous proxy.. It has two benefits.. 1) safety from online threats. 2) your privacy ..of late i have realised that some members(admin, mods) of I-F can view our I.P address.. Isn't it unsafe.. If it is safe, pls let me know.

For some reason, I think due to the ads, my McAfee has been showing IF has some potential dangerous malware.

Not just your IP address, even your location (admins and Global mods). The Mods can view only the IP address. Even I don't feel too comfortable about it but then I don't care about that much too.

Well, you can use an IP Spoofer. I know someone who uses it ..... so that they can keep coming back with one ID or the other and create havoc here😆
