That is a risky click/link. Tried to install malware on my computer.

oh? abload.de (for pictures only) and filehorst.de (new for files) are
not known as a "bad" site, so I chosed it to upload my video there.

Could you tell more details? The only thing I see is that it tries to
run scripts from adcash.com and adshot.de - oh. Adcash.com seems to be
the villain. Didn't see the problem, 'cause I've installed the addon
"NoScript" in firefox on my PC.

Sorry for that. I'll search for another filehoster and send a new link.
May take a while.

Thank you very much for the hint / warning!

Werner

I'm running Chrome browser on Chrome OS (Chromebook) with Avast
antivirus. NOT running Adblock, it's not usually a problem on the sites
I visit. This setup errs on the side of caution for malware, so other
folks might not see a problem.

On the link you posted, I got a large pop-up for a 'dating website',
when I clicked on the X to make the popup go away, the alarm went off.

I run Adblock Edge and Ghostery, primarily because I HATE ads that jiggle
and flash. Didn't see anything amiss (or any ads) on that site.

Flub might want to revisit his no ad-blocker policy because crims are now
using advertising sites as their malware delivery service.
