Cloud Scout?

[Dave Zan]

There appears to be a new advert mechanism that continually loads - Cloud Scout (?)
It renders the site essentially unusable on my connection.
If this is a new site policy then I will reluctantly leave, or is it some other problem?

I have set ads to off in my control panel and still have this crap.

I will ask.

Nope, you got yourself a bit of malware. Do a scan with Malwarebytes.

As SY says.

Remove "Ads by CloudScout" virus (Easy Removal Guide)

 

[Dave Zan]

Thank you.
I probably should have searched a bit more before I posted the query, but DIYAudio does have ads and I wanted to check these were not intentional before further action.
The problem has vanished, perhaps removed by my anti-virus software, I will check a bit more for my own peace of mind.

Best wishes
David

Good to hear the problem has disappeared. Sometimes a full browser cleanup to delete old temporary files works wonders too.

Also as a donor you have the option of not displaying ads in your control panel.
