Advert on the crpg page gave me a virus

Something strange started happening to my PC after accidentally clicking on an advert which was on the side of the page. Browser started acting slow, thought nothing of it and carried on playing, then suddenly my PC logged me off the user. I log back in and my screen is taken up by a 404 internet explorer page and doesn't let me view anything else, couldn't even bring up task bar. Luckily I had a restore point and everything is back to normal. This happened only after clicking the advert.

Some of these ads are funny.  This one made me laugh, seeing as these are forums for a medieval warfare game:

(click to show/hide)
But if they give viruses, maybe some quality control is needed?

I rather believe the adverts depend on you, depending on what you google and sites you visit.

This. I use adblock, I don't see ads.

You should not click ads anyways. I haven't had an antivirus program in over 5 years and never had a virus or anything...use smart web browsing.

Greed? We're paying a fat NA and a fat EU server, and webhosting on top. Since google ads kicked us out we have nearly zero money coming in. So if we find no suitable replacement soon, this might mean bad news for cRPG.

Why'd google ads kicked you out?
