Can you please cease using adf.ly?

Can you please stop using adf.ly? It's a nuisance and blocked anyway. You should make enough money with the games and TF2 already.

I doubt valve would intentionally do it, especially since it's gone now.Weird

Just had the same problem, I was trying to get to the Hardware and Operating systems and ad.fly popped up and I went to the store page. I had to click on a thread like In 1 second for It to not put me to the Store-page..

Whoa, same here. Tried using URLvoid to figure out where it led to, but it said original link was not found. Guess it is gone now, but what the heck happened?

I saw this happening and wondered the same thing till I saw it was happening to others too.
Glad it's been dealt with.

I was 5 minutes away from reformating my computer.

I had this huge wall of text ready to post, but that adfly thing appeared every time I tried to post or even preview it. Now I've lost it and I'll have to retype the whole thing. Thanks, forums!

I don't think I got any viruses from it, since my virus scanner can't find anything and it only ever appeared for a second or so before I closed the tab or backed out. But, seeing what everyone else is posting...

Same here, freakd out thinking I got a trojan or something. =O

I had the same thing using Firefox, I was reading the Dead Island forums and every time I tried loading a new thread it would redirect to something like http://adf.ly/2mCnM. I I thought it was a virus too, freaked me out..

So I don't need to reformat? This is/was a steam forum issue?

Using my iPod atm, no popups/redirects so far.
