Jake twice now I have had pop ads from an outfit that wants me to check my three credit scores today for free.� The first time I checked in just far enough to find out they were asking for my credit card numbers, etc. and I got an uneasy feeling and logged out.� And today I clicked out of it before I realized I should have gotten their information to pass on to you.� So immediately I got another pop up that was for playing Amazon games.� I thought as a paying member I would have no advertisements coming up, so I wondered if this was a problem that has sneaked into Braingle, or if it is spam or if we really do have advertisements now on our paid subscriptions?
EDIT: Well I have since noticed that anytime I have a line of words, and one word shows up in red, it will bring up an advertisement of some sort. Can you explain this to me and when these started? Do the people who pay the entire Brangler membership price have no ads and those who are told no ads and pay the lower price being caught unknown prior by these "red read whether you want to or not" ads?

Jake, Bradon saw my note to you and wrote a quick message to me that he had had the same thing happen to her and that she had discovered it was mal-ware caused by a download of Arcade games. I check my downloads and discovered my Grandson had indeed downloaded that particular item. After removing it from my files our Braingle files have returned to normal again. I'm glad we have such knowledgeable people to help.
