Malware alert from an ad? - About xda-developers.com

I am getting alerts from Chrome that an ad on the page is malware. From um.eqads.com. Is it my computer, or a bad ad?

Because it helps to keep the forum running. If people are dumb enough nowadays to click a link like that, they shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

Annoying Ad

This needs to be removed. Ads are annoying as hell but this one in particular is nonsense. You can't get rid of it, you can't click it and make it go away.

maybe its better to use existing ad related thread to report this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696660
Yea, please use the thread linked above. But I'll flag this to the admins, as that looks really annoying.

It's been plenty fast for me. Does your PC lag on other websites, too? If so, try checking your router and/or browser.
@bitpushr
The only current issues we have is with the search function. The site itself has no performance issues that I'm aware of.

PCM files filling my phone up

Had a message about phone storage getting critically low. Took a look and found 14+GB of PCM files.
Deleted them and here we are again a day later.

this is seriously freaking me out. Is there an obscure setting that corrects this I've overlooked? Can't seem to wrangle uBlock to get rid of either end, either
