Why is India Forums spreading malware?🤢🤢

While trying access any of the threads, the moment you click on the page no say 2,3,4, 7, 8 and so on , it opens up activate search private.org?🤢🤢 Especially when one is logged in, it keeps opening that link the no of times the thread page link is clicked.

Other websites are working perfecting fine. Also IF has many obscene advertisements playing🤢🤢🤢

After Anti India, Anti Hindu, next is promoting Obscenity?😕

Please share the screenshot so that we can understand the issue better.
In most cases its not the site but infected machine with adware which replaces site's ads with their own.

We only serve ads from reputed ad networks who have systems in place which prevents any malware through ads.

It was continuously happening since 10th May. On IF, any of the forum be it BWF, JA forum or Chat clubs or any other, the moment I would click on the page no of the particular thread, a new tab would open of "activate private search.org". It would open a separate window for some product- hotel, software, membership etc. If I click on the main post page, then it was not happening.
I tried removing it by using precise security scan to clean. This was not happening while using other sites like irctc or gmail or news websites. Till I stayed clear of IF, the activate private search.org would not come. Then I asked some friendly members on IF and one of them helped me by telling me to install adblock plus. That has helped. Also there were some x-rated videos playing up, which one could not stop. The images one can report to google but videos has no option.

I dont want to disable adblock plus, what if the private search pops up again. It was a headache to remove that.

Since you may read this, please stop Anti India views/instigation, Anti Hindu posts, here. The BWF moderator are seemingly promoting all this and they are hardly active. Some bad members pass offensive remarks, use abusive language but the moderators are no where around these members form group and bully others. They also make more ids. Can this be addressed?
How long can one keep quiet and ignore? There is a time when the patience or tolerance is lost and one retorts back. I have been attacked for posting positive things and members mocked my faith - hinduism but nothing happened to those posts- still there. Harmless posts are removed without informing.

I had the same Problem years ago.. Before I was using Firefox then I switched to Chrome and the same thing happened over again. I had to clean my PC ... there might be some Virus in your PC.. first reset your PC for the time you got the PC.. and if it still the same problem then you should format your PC. I don't know what I did but first I must have deleted some unwanted programs and then reset it to the beginning.. then it must work.😳

And this has nothing to do with I-F so relax.😳
