So I've been searching for a Fiora guide yesterday and suddenly mobafire redirected me to a site saying Work at Home which is an obvious malware site. I am wondering if this is a cause of an ad or something? I did not encounter it on other websites and it does not appear everytime. I tried to make it appear and it only appears after a ton of refresh. Don't know if this happens on the whole site or on the fiora section only. Might post a screenshot if it happens again. Pretty sure my computer is clean of virus as I only visit the same sites everyday and also made a scan just to make sure.

EDIT:
After having to try to make it come out again, it appears that it happens on guides of other champs too.

It appears as though one of the services for adds that mobafire uses has gone rogue.

^ So, can I make sure that the problem is not on my end? I just want to hear it from those who are familiar with the site like you so I can be sure that my computer hasn't gone nuts.
