| im guessing since "Roblox is currently undergoing maintenance. You may encounter connectivity issues." they are removing these but so far since i logged on to roblox i have gotten 2 "robux gen" ads and 1 site that had a virus these ads are popping up when i click play or games or an item on the catalog i was wondering if anyone else was getting these, also one of my virus protections didn't allow me to go to one of the sites :L anyways i know roblox wouldn't knowingly put these kinds of ads in the game and since i have adblock these ads are defiantly not banner ads was roblox hacked what happened?? |

"delete any file/program that looks suspicious" LOL Don't do that at all some system files are meant to look suspicious to prevent infection to the file.

adware is the least threatening virus it's really easy to remove.

Save as can still give you a virus it depends if the file is infected or not you can tell if it's infected by seeing if the file size has increased if it has it's infected.

Or you can use prntscr/ Gyazo to crop around the image and save it that way.
But seriously, delete all of those .gif and .png files and install malwarebytes
and backup chrome too |
