Ero-Advertising as Malware in Google?
 

Today I changed some blind clicks in my websites and, when I clicked in a "Speed Click" from Ero-Advertising, I saw that Google Chrome was blocking the traffic due malwares.



Take a look: safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Fredirects.ero-advertising.com%2Fspeedclicks%2Fin.php%3Fpid%3D432 82%26spaceid%3D206911%26returnurl%3D&client=google chrome&hl=en

I'm posting that here to call the attention of Ero-Advertising to fix this problem fast. I'm sure that it's messing with our earnings as a % of the traffic is being blocked by Chrome auto-filter.

why didnt u just email em

Already done, but I never e-mailed them, so I don't know if they are slow to read the e-mails or not.
And normally everyone just stay staring at something thinking "well, the ad network is already aware of that and it's fixing", but in reality no one has even called the attention to the problem. Don't want to be part of this team :)

right....

Several adnetworks are causing this error to be thrown in all the major browsers.
If you looking for a reason your traffic dropped this might be your answer.

I think someone reports and they believe - including if no malware and it was competitor reporting.
Had same issue with some domains with the malware blocker of avira (pay version got an url block) and with Malwarebytes (they hate ip's hosted in webazilla or russia, ban all them).
Reporting them to false positive is quite a job, for one url in malwarebytes took one year and several posts in their forum to unban an IP :)
Avira seems it was fast when it happened.
I am sure there's some cheap service made by indians to report your competitors as malware to every antivirus and firewall, and same people offer the service of report as false positive to unban.

It's good to do that but it's also good to post here so the rest of us know about it. Some of us may want to pull links right away until it's verified as resolved depending on the type of site we have.

It's a recurring problem for sure with the ad networks. The networks need to work on ways to reduce this occurrence. For the ones without good Know-your-advertiser policies it's easy for the crooks to simply open up an account with another email, name, and site by using a proxy. If you don't stop them from coming back it's just like playing whack-a-mole and the publishers have to pay the price for it.

Everytime I see that kinda of alerts, I contact Marcelo...

but he never thanks me, i'm sad!

Malicious software includes 1288 trojan(s)...

this is BULLSHIT! :mad::mad::mad: ero-advertising is very relaxed people if they allow to do such things with publisher;s traffic
