You mean downloaded? Anyway, it's something to do with the ads, and using Firefox and Adblock Plus will solve that problem, though hopefully ioi will be able to sort out the problems soon.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

What advertisements?

What browser are you two using? Well, regardless Firefox + addons > you.

This site is terrible for viruses and trojans but no point pointing it out cuz no1 believes it.

Your going to get all sorts of malicious .dll files in your System32 folder by visiting this site.

Many of the ads contain all kids of scripts you wouldn't want on your pc and others have redirects.

For people that have firefox, no script, flashblock, adblock etc it's ok, but for the majority of users any warnings you are currently getting is almost certainly from this site!

A reason why the user number for this site are unlikely to rise to the numbers they could.

Firefox: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/

Noscript: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722

Flashblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

Adblock plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

Actually I run firefox with adblock, and a couple other stuff. And occasionally I would still get something that'll try to push through and install things.

I like the site and all but you can't expect strangers to take this place seriously if they see malware warnings popping up when they visit.

I am using Firefox and last couple times when I visit this site it trying to get me to install program (I think ironically it want me to install anti-virus software).

It is rather annoying and webmaster here really need to scan and check all advertisement.  I can't even open VGChartz at my work because it constantly trigger the security software.
