| Usually, the ads I see on roblox are ads from real players, advertising their games and groups. But now I see those scams that say "YOUR COMPUTER HAS A VIRUS" etc. And I thought they were ads trying to advertise a game or group, but it actually redirected me to a website to get a computer virus! When did Roblox start paying these advertising companies to start advertising computer viruses and scams? Srsly Roblox! |

| I'm seeing a lot of these as well, and it's scaring me to a point where I am scared to go to the games page, because I am scared of accidentally clicking them from trying to see more games. |

Reason kidflashing asked that is because some internet service providers use websites that are recently searched for as ads.
Through I don't know what's causing this (I'm bc I don't see it) |

That is because ROBLOX does not care about the safety of their players at all, what they DO care about though, is money. They will willingly use ad providers that provide malicious ads just to get more money from ads. To prevent these ads, just either use AdBlock either get ROBLOX+ and enable the OBC theme which only has user made ads.

Pretty much all ads pay equally. A banner ad about a virus will not earn more than a banner ad about Youtube. |

| Then you actually have a virus, dont trust any ads about saying you have a virus then cause it will just make it worse. I think roblox looks at the ad before its able to be advertised. |

To ROBLOX, an ad is an ad. There is nothing off-limits from being advertised on ROBLOX. So there is a very real chance of getting some 'interesting' ads.
