Adfly and Linkbucks ad when trying to download?
« on: November 11, 2014, 09:32:01 pm »
So when I tried to download FH, the first time, this Adfly ad popped up, when I clicked Skip Ad, FH said: Click here to proceed download, I clicked that, then this Linkbucks ad showed up, It automatically downloads something on my computer (I canceled it before it could though) and nothing happens when I click Skip Ad, I really want to get FH! Is there a solution for this?

do not click on any button that says "click here to proceed download" or anything like that. those are adds that trick you into thinking that's the legit download, then you get crapware on your computer that can secretly suck up your private information. downloading the setup for fh is pretty straightforward, as in you get the notice to download the setup by your windows computer after you click the link.

make sure that the crapware didn't install in the background. go to control panel>programs>uninstall a program, find linkbucks, and uninstall it if it's there.

Normally what Vesp does when Adfly is bein' a bum is I remove the content that shows before the second http://. For example, I have a link such as this: http://adf.ly/2262836/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4

Then I remove the http://adf.ly/2262836/ from the URL.

Hit enter.

Then the page should skip over the ad 'n direct ye' to the page ye'd like to go. Hopefully this response made sense.

gone

You can get Adblock too. Somehow it disables all Adfly and Linkbucks-somethinglikethat poof. I was surprised how it didn't appear when I first got Adblock xD

I tried that, but it didn't work, the Adfly page only had the Adfly url. So if I backspace it and press enter, nothing will happen. Oh, and for the Adfly thing, first it displays a "You must log in to access this area of the site" but I've already logged in, then I log in, it goes back to download, and I click download, and the whole process repeats again.
