| First these annoying "You May Like" ads, now I'm seeing sponsored ad videos or something in the middle of the forums? With the "Sponsored" title stylized like the date/time part of a forum post??? Why MAL? Why? |
 |
| Never really had a problem with ads on MAL, lately however I noticed a trend toward the worst of its kind, especially on mobile. Lots of shitty NSFW ads, popups and also ads in the middle of the forum. Was there a change lately? |

| Assuming the requal-alleased.com issue was a minor thing that pops up from time to time I made sure it was reported here and haven't been using the site much since it hasn't been fixed. Doing some digging with the details my antivirus gives and others in this thread, the source of the issue appears to be using AWS. I filed a report to AWS and maybe that will lead to a resolution since we haven't gotten any updates in the last week. |
 |
| Thanks for your message, @Tyranid5. I asked about this again on Monday, and was told it was brought to the relevant parties last week. I've been waiting to hear back or see a decrease in complaints since. It helps to know this is still ongoing. |
| @Kineta I would say when it first started it was isolated to just the MyPanel page, approximately 2 weeks ago when the first reports were submitted. Then a week after that it happens on about every page. I have adblock enabled (I know I'm bad) and I really fear what some users might go through without a premium anti-malware. Riskware is a broad ranging type of threat some free services might not flag it and people who are just using Malwarebytes free don't have active monitoring. Many who notice this may not know where to report this either. I used to frequent the support section, but there are many users who don't use the forums at all. |
| |
| @Tyranid5 Actually, the problem is unrelated to ads. It seems to be caused by something else. The team is investigating. |
| You guys have a bad ad on your website that keeps attacking me now. This just started a bit ago when I click on new animes to check out. Please fix it ASAP. Hope i'm reporting this in the right way. Screenshot of the attack from the ad.  |
| Thanks for reporting DivinityNoraLuxu, we're looking in to this. |
| I keep getting requal-alleased.com malware by norton. Supposedly it's from this sites ads. |
| Thanks for reporting SuperJoule, we're continuing to investigate. |
| I see you guys have seen that norton report and are looking into it, but just wanted to follow up as someone also having that same intrusion attempt on every MAL page. Hope that helps a bit. |

Hope i'm reporting this in the right way. Screenshot of the attack from the ad. When is this getting fix? I keep getting it every time I come to Myanimelist on anything on the website. Also, I asked a few other people who don't have Norton and said they are fine. It doesn't make sense at all for ads to being attacking my PC because I have Norton. I report this ad's attack to the Norton team as well. Also, scan my whole PC using Norton tools with their support help and said my PC is 100% fine. |
| It's been fixed, it doesn't pop up anymore now. |
DivinityNoraLuxu said: It's been fixed, it doesn't pop up anymore now. Was coming to say this as well. So if it helps knowing, whichever ad it was appears to be fixed for norton and/or the US region. Thanks team. ~ |
| @kineta it looks like you guys got it resolved. I had to step away for the last 2 weeks (testing), but I kinda gave up on the Amazon side after their support team had me resubmit the information the 2nd time. (submit it as requested -> Re-submit in slightly different format -> "will you please revise again in this slightly different format?" nope). 1st tier support tends to be hit or miss like that though. Some are just overworked and others aren't really meant for the job. |
| |
| @Tyranid5 Yep, we managed. Thanks for letting me know! |
| Every time I come on here I keep seeing explicit Gay ads like 2 men kissing. I don't want to see this kind of stuff while browsing on here. |
deg said: lol really but isnt ads base on browsing history though you might have accidentally search on google about gay words for example or just use adblockers like ublock origin No I don't search for gay stuff so it wouldn't make sense for me to get these ads. Even if I was I regularly wipe my cookies anyways. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| Really not a fan of this ad, MAL, and it's been up for a while. I'd rather not see prostates when I browse anime. |
 |
| how is this appropriate for the home page? I mean I'd understand if people opted in to see porno ads but this was A) on my work laptop and B) not yet logged in. Which means random kids could be exposed to this type of 18+ content. MAL URL: Homepage |

TheMAM said: I mean regardless of the ad that is the dumbest thing I've seen ever, is it saying to fist the prostate? I genuinely don't understand wtf it's trying to convey.Really not a fan of this ad, MAL, and it's been up for a while. I'd rather not see prostates when I browse anime. |
