Why is this site a security threat?

Seriously, we all know this website can give you a virus, my friend Andy accidentally destroyed my OS and I couldn't recover it back in January by using IE instead of Firefox once. Just 10 minutes ago when I hit refresh and the Ad Popup thing launched it tried to put 2 virus exploits on my machine. The Bloodhound Exploit # 109 and the Byte Verify Trojan.

If the guy who runs this website (swamper) can't check or control what content his advertisers load on his site, I feel that we should all just abandon it in means of something else. Already more than half the people I know refuse to use the site because it ruins their machine.

If you read the technical details of those 2 examples you cite you'd see one is related to a Windows exploit that was patched YEARS ago - and - another, is for Quicktime.

As for your OS, I've used both IE and Firefox for years now and have never had any issue with regards to virii infecting my system - much less from popups.

Chances are if you headed over to Secunia you'd find a multitude of apps installed on your computer that have exploits and haven't had the appropriate patches applied - please, don't blame TA for your virus problems. If a popup causes you grief then take the source URL of it and leave feedback in the form and I'll relay it to the Ad Publisher who can deal with it.

to tell you the truth, you shouldn't blame swamper for your infections, but Google for processing the random popup ad on TA. this has been an issue in the security world the past couple of years, which is malicious websites building virii pages as ads, and registering them in Google ads.

Google doesn't serve popups - they don't come from there - the issue you mention is something else entirely...
