It also happened with another domain name that I also own. So in all it affected 2 of my sites. I also took off my ‘clicksor’ ads because they were running too slow messing up page loads. My page views dropped because of them, but went back up after I took them off.

As mentioned in this post none of these companies monitor or check the ads, all they want is the advertisers money. They don’t care if the ads infect your web site, hoping they won’t be noticed.

Hope this helps.

ADONION

I was logging into the CPanel when I received a Pop-under from Cicksor (This was the only site I had open and my PC is free of Adware.) Google chrome blocked the pop-under saying that it contained Malware and my anti virus (Avast Home Latest Version) showed me a warning
I also found that one of the CPanel ads loaded Java of some description (Java icon appeared in system tray) which could be dodgy.
I contacted Clicksor previously several times because their ad code slowed up my site and the only way to fix it was to remove the code. They said they would get their technicians on to it and I was to try adding the code again. It made no difference, in the end I ask them to pay me what little I earned and I would close my account.
This is what I recieved
Hi Publisher,

Our Clicksor Rep has been assisting you and replying your tickets/emails to resolve the problems. In regards to the inline text link, we have actually stated in the “Support” area of Clicksor Publisher Member area:

1) Inline Text Link
Publishers can manually disable the text links by changing the line of ad code
‘clicksor_enable_text_link = true’
to
‘clicksor_enable_text_link = false’
Please also contact our publisher representative to have the inline text link option removed from your site.
2) IE Problem
Based on the correspondence that you had with Amy (Clicksor Rep), she has tried hard to provide full customer support by following up with IT Dept to fix the IE problem. Since each of the website is using unique script, coding, our IT would require the collaboration from our publishers in providing needed info to test the ad code and locate the actual problem.

As you may know, the different script writing could cause some conflicts and therefore, we have our IT Dept to assist us in resolving the problems for our publishers. It is recommended to resolve the problems for your website in order to maximize your monetizing opportunities. However, you have chosen to remove our ad code and we are not able to locate the actual problem for you.

3) Malicious Ad
This could be due to a violated ad campaign that uses our network to deliver malicious ad. We would need the Ad URL, Visitor’s IP address, or time and date to locate the advertisement and suspend it immediately. If you have the data, please provide them to us as soon as possible.
Just thought that I should tell you!

I suspect Clicksor is more than responsible for the distribution of Malware, and are fully aware of what they are serving before any reports.
