There's an offsite ad that keeps asking me to download something. The only thing I see on the ad itself is a green line. I'm assuming it's a virus considering I have gotten many viruses from roblox ads in the past. I wanted to know if any of you have gotten this.

Was this a user add. I dont think so, anyways i dont see why a advertiser needs to put a virus in your comp... (Only makes them lose money) So i surgest that you run your antivirus. (AVG is my chooise)

I think I've had the same problem,too. Twice as a matter a fact. Okay, the first time this happened, was a few days ago. I was play Town of Robloxia, when my Avast antivirus popped up and said, " MALWARE BLOCKED. " I'm not sure if this is Roblox or not. Then, last night, I was playing Town of Roblox again. Suddenly, my computer turned all off, and I got a blue screen saying stuff about viruses. Then my computer completely turned off for about an hour and I couldn't start my computer. I'm wondering if this is the ROBLOX'S offsite ads, or ROBLOX itself.

@er It's the offsites ad. I think if you don't want this problem to happen again you should become BC. BC has user-made ads only.

@Robert, it's not an "ad" company, it's a virus author who created it and put it in an ad form. It's not a really ad company advertising.

Use a more secure browser. I assume you use Internet Explorer. I've never got any viruses while on Google Chrome or Firefox.

The ad appears on every site. I belive a new law has passed like SOPA. This time it has passed. So those stupid ads appear everywhere on the web. I hate it.
