Regarding RATs being spread under LG's name

**Thomas** · 07-20-2011 12:45 AM

Recently I've noticed people have been spreading viruses under LogicalGamers' name. This needs to stop. It's ruining Lg's reputation in a big way. Not to mention other websites are starting battles with us because they think we're involved. If you're going to spread a RAT, then fine, but don't involve LogicalGamers! If you're found to be spreading malicious programs under Lg's name you will receive a two week ban on first offence. Second offence will be a permanent ban.

Looks like business just picked up.

We can finally start building the LogicalGamers Empire. <3

I've been noticing the lg forum sometimes redirects to this ad site.. O.o has anybody else noticing it? When you click the lg forum from google it redirects you to a Ad site then when you go back a page and click it again it goes to LG forum

I messaged artificial about this last week but it looks like he couldnt find what is causing it.
I quit using chrome, and now it stopped.

It must be a program you guys have downloaded or something because I have not been experiencing that and I have Google Chrome.

Google chrome=annoying
I might go back to fire fox, where it actually records my history so I don't have to search for a youtube video for an hour.

I'm having the same problem. Weird enough. I'll get on it.

It's probably the advertisement you guys have up. I use Firefox with Adblock so I never notice it / get redirected.

No, it's been happening off and on since last summer. It's a problem on Google's end.

Well if you go to Google and type in LogicalGamers.com or any other web site and use Google to get to the website instead of actually typing it in the URL Address, it uses Google Ads or something similar that Google owns in order to make money off of everyone. It's like Adfly, people visit the adfly url and adfly makes money and gives the user that created the url a very small percent, then the adfly url that was generated by so said user redirects to the original website.

Google would never do that. Nobody would use the search engine that redirects to potentially malicious websites instead of the intended website. Google would be slapped with an antitrust suit so fast their head would spin. It's a bug, we've just got to make Google aware of it. Which is almost impossible since they don't have any support.

**omnibous** · 07-22-2011 03:09 AM

well this never happens on other sites. its just this site that happens.

Do you remember when they started that campaign for people to find websites and such? Google doesn't use it to redirect to ads, it's technically like Adfly but much smaller. It's a small redirect. You click the link and it sends you to something like (No accurate but an example)
ads.google.com/url=websiteurlhere.com

They're just jealous of LG :/

This was way before we even had advertisements on the website. Before I was even staff if I remember correctly.
