Hi, I was just on a BTC site, http://greenbitco.in/ they now have his invisible annoying ad hat sit right in front of your captcha, address notification. The ad actually opens a new tab and takes you to a site with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation logo telling you your browser has been locked and that all info on your computer is being downloaded. I restarted my computer to get out of it. I seriously do not really know what to do at this point. Did these spies put something on my computer that I should reinstall the whole software. Does Ms security essentials get rid of these types of bugs?

  I opened the site in Incognito Mode and looked around. Every link you follow gives you popup advertisment but nothing tried to install and no United States Federal Bureau of Investigation logo as far as I could see.

  Looked like some crappy version of an adinfested faucet.

  Well, just in case, I reinstalled the windows 7 on my computer. I might be just a little paranoid. I will never go there again.

  Very well put. I mean they lure you in with the hopes of getting a 500 Thousand Sat payout. This is very sweet sounding to many people. Those phishing sites is how the exchanges got hacked.
