Yesterday ROBLOX gave me a virus, I'm not sure what it happend, but I didn't visit any other website other than ROBLOX, and I also have adblock so that I didn't get one off of any of the ads. It's called discountlocator or something like that, I removed it by now but I'm wondering if anyone else got this too. I'm pretty sure I could also sue ROBLOX for this, but it's not worth my time.

And just to let you guys know, I don't go to any links that users post, so the only way I got the virus was off of ROBLOX

It wasn't Roblox or more people would've encountered it. Another user of your PC may of downloaded it.

It seems like YOU want to blame Roblox, if you refuse to receive another explanation then we can't help.

it's adware. not necessarily a virus. once you download it, the ads really affect your computer and internet, so it is considered adware. those ads can be on any website so watch out

@pad

actually

this is a huge thing that is built into some ads which are browser-side viruses


and yes, roblox gave it to you. i have got it twice from just browsing ROBLOX the entire day.

do you use google chrome? that is the most common browser people get it in.

don't use Avast.

recently, it is mostly just a energy hog and an advertisement for there other software.

(avira, malwarebytes, those two are great.)
