I have a pretty robust ad-blocker that has rarely failed me before, and these bogus ads are still repeatedly showing up, long after I left the site. They are classic malware masquerading as legitimate anti-virus software, with darkly threatening nonsense about multiple viruses on my machine. Worse yet, this is the laptop I use for work, so I’m going to have to make our AI folks aware and ask for guidance. And after all that, the stadium files wouldn’t load. It’s like I slipped down a rabbit hole. Never again.
