Hello,
As you may or may not know, we’ve been having some problems with advertisements on our hosted boards. It appears that some harmful ads are making their way onto iPBFree Forums, and are attempting to install malware onto users’ machines in the form of programs such as “ErrorProtector” and “SpyFalcon”, without the ads even being clicked. Please DO NOT install ANYTHING that pops up, simply press cancel, and close your browser window. Installation of these programs can cause harm to your computer, which may in some cases be irreversible. We are working to get this solved as soon as possible, and apologize for any inconvenience.
Best Regards,
iPBFree Staff

well my ipbfree admin CP is being attacked. every few seconds it will saw that my account on the CP has been almost acessed. But every time i must wait 100 seconds because someone is trying to log in. Could this be related to your problem?

I hope that goes well for you all. That doesn’t sound easy, to weed out all of the “bad’ Advertisements.

I am having a problem. Some of the posts that members are posting have certain words that are green and underlined. Once you scroll above the word something comes up. Its really weird.

Yeah, I saw that (not iPBFree forums in particular) but some ads have been allowing for code to be run which installs junk and malicious software through the images with consent or without of the user. Unfortunatly in this rapidly technologically advancing world this will become more and more common. :S Good luck!
