    For over a year now, after a certain number of clicks on AZ site, I was used to being redirected to a malicious web page which tell me that my computer is infected by a virus and that the only way to unlock it is to contact the phone number XXXXXXX...
    Classical.
    Apart from being very annoying, it was not so harmful since to get out of that "trap" we must click very quickly on the page's closing button and pressing "Enter" at the same time on the keyboard.
    Another solution to avoid this shit (as well as all the other stupid porn/crap pages) was to logon at AZ.
    But today, "they" have decided to screw you on a higher level since it's now impossible to logon at AZ because as soon as you click on "Login" you will be redirected to the malicious webpage which you can't escape from - the only way to get out of it is to close Firefox via Task Manager.
    Will you please find another way to get money from us (or at least delete this malicious page)?
    :trolls:

    My pc is 100% clean (controled on a regular basis with Malewarebyte). The only crap I can not get rid of is Windows :rofl:.
    I use Firefox with Adblock Plus. I will install Ublock too and grab a decent host file.
    Thanks for the advice.

    Anyway, it would be even better if AZ could do something to block this kind of malicious sites/pages.

    P.S.: Merci Oly.

    Yes, pretty annoying. I don't (too much) mind some pop up pages, but when they're malware.....hmmm.

    Mh, neither of this ever happened/happens to me with NoScript and uBlock Origin. Time for some Add-ons? :winker:
