I clicked on one of your link for game info and I got up a pop-up saying I got a virus. The pop-up wanted me to send info. I shut my machine off immediately. This pop-up happened when I was checking a game company from your website. You need to run a scan on your website to get rid of this malicious pop-up. I was clicking to go to another part of your website when this happened. Please check this out.

Thanks, there might have been something weird with one of our ad partners. (Or possibly something else is already on your machine.) But we'll look into it.

If it was from an old game company link, it would help if you could point out which one. External links are sometimes taken over by other parties, so we try to replace obsolete links with the relevant ones through archive.org; it's hard to know without reports though.
