Self starting videos on TOTV?

[billethkid]

When I log onto TOTV the home page near the top will show some feature photos as has always been the case. When I click new posts, near the top, just above "new topics" bar there will be three side by side videos all beginning to play at the same time. To not be annoyed I have to pause each one.

This is the only site and location that I experience these videos.

Is there a way to unable these from loading on that page.

It only does it on my desk top and not iPad.

These look like animated business videos. If you sit and watch, they eventually quit.

I usually ignore them and just scroll down to the New Posts.

It's pop ups and malware the admin insist they don't exsist here

We have had the hosting company run a scan and Google has run a scan and everything comes back clean. We are not able to replicate this - can you please email us a screen shot so we can further investigate.

Will you please tell me how to email you a screen shot? If I go to "Contact Us," there doesn't seem to be any way to attach anything to send to you. I have used Contact Us twice to ask this question but have received no answer.

Its probably malware on your computer. Scan your PC for Malware or call us to fix your computer(s). 352-234-6972

These ads are NOT malware. There are advertisements that have animated scripts in them.

When you click on New Posts, you will see three ads at the top. Sometimes these ads have animated play in them. At other times they do not.

The other day I got at least one animated ad every time I went to New Posts. Today, they are all static.

The ads are most likely AdChoices by Google. You can "opt out" of some of the ads. Some will become animated when you hover over them and they will start playing a video.

You may have a virus or Malware on your computer that replaces those ads with its own ads by using an exploit in your browser too. Just FYI.

Heres a link to try to eliminate some some of the interest based ads that google collects from your internet surfing.

The opt out link looks good. I might give it a try.

Thanks,

I think it is how they get revenue so that we can use this site for free.

I go to a lot of free sites that have ads on the screens. I just put up with it and sometimes actually take advantage of the ads.
