i double clicked a game, but a netflix ad popped up and i accidentally clicked it. immidiately i got a message from my computer saying that the site had malware from www.justimpressions.com. on my other computer at my dad's house, right when i log on there is a popup that says your computer is being attacked and needs scanning. the X button, the cancel, everything there is that closes it is also a link to this thing. i cant close it via the toolbar on the bottem and right clicking because it doesnt shot up and CTRL + ALT + Delete, it doesnt show up there either. so i click the X, a page saying that 94 trojans were detected pops up, i cant close that via bottem or ctrl alt delete. i press the X. it says are you sure? and i click the x on that and its finally gone. a popup from my actual computer firewall protection whatever pops up saying their was an attack on my computer and was blocked. so, ArmorGames. is all the new adds just laggy? just annoying? or can it harm my computer? i am SERIOUSELY starting to think that i shouldnt go on this website anymore. i have been playing on armor games for over two years now and i dont want this issue to ruin it. the revenue for armorgames that gave it life, the ads, are starting to kill it.

I'm not sure about this whole thing, since I never experienced this. However, these ads are the ones with the real viruses inside. They prompt you to click the links saying that they have been blocked, when they are really attempting to get you a virus. AG never does give out these "warning" ads, so you must have gotten them from somewhere else. However, from your experience, it sounds serious. You might want to scan your computer manually.

I have never experienced anything like this. You will need to tell us what browser you are using. This sounds bad. Do you have an ad-blocker, anti-malware, anti-spyware and anti-virus software?

Is it me, or am I seeing more people advertising Google Chrome here? You can't make assumptions that his browser is at fault.

Use Firefox people, much safer, and there is no data collecting for Google (They get in trouble for that in Europe you know).

That's kinda obvious...

Have you virus scanned your computer? AG does not have viruses, they must be popping up from somewhere else (Sounds like they're getting into the code, so either your internet is infected or your computer). And don't IE, that's the ultimate target board for those kind of things.

well like i said, it was my dads computer. i was using internet explorer i have like norton or mexton or something like that security. at this computer, the one im worried about more because it hasnt happened before im using google chrome (:] i like how in its saved history it tells the time)and i have McAffe security. when i accidentely clicked the netflix, it said that stuff and in the adress bar it said http:// with a slash through it. it happened again too. i googled armorgames community video games BC2 and one link called like, battlefield bad company || had the same thing but it said it was directing me to a different website. and yeah i never click the actual link to the site

Thats weird! The same thing just happened to me like five seconds ago!
It said malware was a malicious virus that can seriously damage your computer.

That is never the solution. If the rest of us aren't getting any problems, then the site can't be blamed. You must be riddled with viruses. Run your anti-virus software, scan your entire PC. Since I'm not sure if you have anti-malware, download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and install it. Run it too. Also, you should first try a different browser. I suggest you try downloading any browser. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera or whatever. Just to check if this problem is confined to your browser.

And try not to scroll over, or click on anything you don't want to.

DO NOT BLAME AG FOR THIS.
