Why is TF2Outpost Being Cancer All of a Sudden?
Okay, I gotta ask this... What is going on with TF2Outpost? I literally can't use it anymore because when I ever get on the site anymore, I get spammed with very bad things and my Firefox browser goes haywire. Like, it is blocking 2 - 3 pop-up messages a second, and sometimes new tabs will just open up to obvious scams and potential dangerous viruses/malware...

What is going on with this crap? I wanna use the site, not kill my PC.

That doesn't help much since I can't say for certain what type of adverts they are... Plus it seems to be always happening, not some sort of random chance. It also doesn't explain the spam of pop-ups that never ends, which means a constant stream of adverts are being spammed.

This means that you guys don't have a specific ad plaguing your site but rather a program type of ad which spams the viewer with many different dangerous ads until the page is closed...

As explained in the post above, TF2Outpost does not have control over what type of ads are displayed. In order for "malicious" ads to be removed they have to be reported to the ad provider.

If you believe you can't use the site anymore because of annoying ads then you have 2 options:

1. Purchase Premium which will hide all the ads
2. Use an Ad Blocker

I'm actually am using an Ad Blocker. That's what makes this even worse. These pop-ups knows how to bypass the Ad Blocker. They still get blocked by Firefox, for the most part. Which is annoying...

I also figured out a 3rd option. While loading the site, hit stop loading ASAP. This will stop it from loading whatever program that's causing the spam of these pop-ups.

I also get an alert in Avast Antivirus when I visit the site
