| 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. |

| 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. |

"Get avast! Get protection! And don't lie that ROBLOX gave it to you!"
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.) |
