Anybody else getting constant warnings and redirects to McAfee or some other security warning? I'm only getting these on this site and do not have Mcafee installed on my PC.
Fake Mcafee redirects &/or pop-ups?

yes, my God yes... i actually called and made an appointment for tomorrow because i thought i had a virus... im sorry for you but im glad to know its not just me. i go to 7 to 9 regular sites daily and like you said it only happens on this site and i also have never had Mcafee on any of my computers.
thats the way it started on mine... maybe a couple times every few days.. now its multiple times daily, even hourly if im on here that long.
I don't get them here at all but I get about 3 emails a day on one of my email accounts that I only use for ordering items online, they say they are from Mcafee, my subscription is expired but they are still monitoring and I've got a virus blah blah blah yada yada yada
Is it on the same device or does it occur on different devices? It hasn't occurred on my phone but has on a desktop and laptop I use.
It happened to me while reading this thread. It has done this to me many times before and this computer has never used mcafee.
it just happened again. said i am visiting an illegal website... insert joke here
The browser. On the old site I rarely had to sign in after I established my username and PW on the site. Firefox saves my user ID and PW but it doesn't seem to read the data on On3. Today, I've had to sign in everytime I visited (3 -4 times).
I'm having this redirect issue like crazy today from fake Norton and sites that my virus detection is blocking. Honestly it's happening every 5 minuets.
I'm using a firefox on a laptop.

As Christmas gets closer - bad ads get put in these advertising networks. I unfortunately don't have control over the ads anymore but we had this issue before we moved to On3. It just wasn't as prevalent or y'all didn't complain as much - one or the other. I report them to On3 when y'all say something.
Anybody else seeing this again?
I'm just now having it happn but it's pretty quickly now. No pop-up, just moves from this site to some scammy Mcafee site. Sometimes I can click backwards and get back to where I was. Sometimes I have to just close down the tab and open a new one to get back to sixpack.

If it would help On3, here's the URL information from my company's internal blockers:

Me too. Exactly the same. I think mine had Macafee installed as a suggested product for antivirus. But I did not want Macafee or anybody else not named PCMatic. Been with PCMatic for years and works great. PCMatic is a U.S. based company and most of the others are based in not-so-good countries. This Macafee thing I think is some type of sophisticated malware or is embedded in Microsoft code so us average users can't get rid of it. It locks up my computer at least 2-3 times per week.
I posted this on another thread a while back. Worked like a charm for me on Google:
"Same here. I have found if I add these sites to the "Do not allow" list for pop-ups & redirects they do stop for a while. But they eventually come back using a different url. At least that has been the case a couple times so far.
If anyone here wants to try that and needs a little help learning how to do it, let me know."
To update, after needing to do the above a few times, I finally got it to stop for good using this procedure.

Hopefully this last Windows update, nipped this in the bud.
