Once again, ads on this site are starting to cause redirects to other sites. It started about three days ago, and hasn't occurred anywhere else. Last time I complained about this a couple years ago they tried telling me there was nothing wrong with the ads and to check my computer for viruses. But then other people reported the same issue and they actually checked the ads, and they really were causing redirects. Please actually check the ads before telling me I have a virus this time, as it doesn't happen anywhere else except this website that has had the same issue in the past (and has probably reduced its technical support to a skeleton crew now, allowing problems like this to slip through more often). I didn't really pay attention to what the first one was, but the last two tried to tell me that my McAfee antivirus subscription expired (which I never had, and the both claimed it expired on two different dates, so obviously a scam).

You can report inappropriate ads to Google via the X in the top right corner of the ad itself. You can also report the ad to Kongregate (who will work with Google to have it removed, if it is confirmed inappropirate) by following the steps in [in the FAQ](http://www.kongregate.com/forums/7/topics/241772?page=1#posts-11419604). -Pip

"The ad itself" is a redirected website, so it doesn't have a little X. The Kong page I tried to go to is gone altogether when that happens, so I don't know what the in-site ad that triggers it actually looks like. > > You can also report the ad to Kongregate (who will work with Google to have it removed, if it is confirmed inappropirate) by following the steps in [in the FAQ](http://www.kongregate.com/forums/7/topics/241772?page=1#posts-11419604). > > -Pip That link doesn't work. Edit: Okay, I changed some things in the URL around and the link works now. But those instructions are still based on the assumption that it's an ad visible on the site being "inappropriate", rather than how to report that the entire page is being redirected. I can't get a screenshot of anything on Kong. Incidentally, I had it happen again today, this time with a different target website. The resulting page just said "this page cannot be displayed", but the URL was like "gogo.powerrangers" or something.

So there was once again nothing really to screenshot, but I did manage to copy the URL of what I got redirected to: https://gogo.thepowerrangers.com/7f584458-2b65-44ae-89ca-04376bdfac1f?tid=c80aa79c-2c8b-4364-b07e-0511da69e9bc_1616724600&dsp=ADSAXIS&ssp=bsw_fmx&domain=kongregate.com&domain_id=4cfac6d83b21e64dcba243dc59271a0d&bannersize=300x250&ua=Mozilla/5.0%20(Windows%20NT%206.1;%20Win64;%20x64)%20AppleWebKit/537.36%20(KHTML,%20like%20Gecko)%20Chrome/89.0.4389.90%20Safari/537.36 (Obviously don't click on that if you don't want to be redirected to some spam/scam site.)
