I tried to watch Mary-O's new edit on my desktop computer, and Firefox threw a fit, shut down the site, claimed there was a Trojan ect ect
Idk if it was just my browser but you might want to take a look!

It means you have a Trojan virus, Firefox is very good at detecting viruses. Run a virus scan and get rid of that Trojan virus. They're pretty harmful.

It's coming through an ad. I just clicked on a thread in the Ladies Men cult and my anti-virus blocked the page because of an ad trying to redirect me (or just trying to load up). Second time for me, although I don't remember what page the first one happened on. I have a legit virus program, so it's probably a real threat.

Got something on Google Chrome too, popped up when I watched a video as a redirect link. Regular "you have 2 viruses, need immediate cleaning" bullshit, definitely not a real virus, but certainly annoying and a little weird that it came up on NS

Same here. Happened on Chrome on 2 different computers and IP's this morning when I clicked the Mary O video link on the homepage.

A similar thing just happened to me again. It wasn't the same "virus" redirect that I got the first time, but it was similar. The only time I've encountered these on the site so far is when clicking the links to videos that are top rated on the homepage.

And something new. Once again clicking on a thread in Ladies Men cult, and I got redirected to a page that showed a loading bar and said it was downloading something. You bet I got the fuck out of there just about as fast as my finger could move the mouse pad.
