ikrrrrr

It happens to me as well. I just wanted to let the website rot.

I remember on an older phone when I used to click allow and the kind of notifications I would get

There have thankfully been ways to bypass it over the years.

FR! One time, I saw one of those notifications on my school chromebook, and then got adware ):

mcafee is spamware: making you buy money for something you don't need

its scareware

mr mcafee my hero

McAfee is a virus at this point The worst software of all time

Norton exists

i remember trying to download mods for minecraft when i was little and getting redirected to adfly all the time it was so annoying i swear

I had an xp lended to me. Minecraft played at like 10 fps so my friend suggested I get optifine. He linked me to the mc forum post with the adfly link. I followed the instructions to downloading it(I did not hit the green "download now" buttons)but when I did, it displayed something called "optimum installer" The installer was literally rigged where if i hit no, it was like fuck you imma do it anyway. Gave me a cocktail of shitty malware that I knew how to deal with (ilivid, babylon etc) as well as a fucking nasty trojan called "IRP Hook." Just mde minecraft even more of a frame-skipping mess.

Me when i was trying to download flash..

Nah for me it was trying to install mods without reading anything and destroying my computer by downloading random jar files. For whatever reason whatever I installed disabled explorer and I had to use system restore to fix it. I didn't even know about custom launchers at the time, so I thought every mod just worked like OptiFine.

ikr, this was actually frustrating to watch...

to be fair, people with minimal technical knowledge are the main targets of malware

Scams are designed to fool those with little knowledge. The fact that he couldn't get anything to work is actually a good thing.

it was entertaining though

why minimal technical knowledge?

adfly is the bane of game modding. It's a parasite to both Sims AND Minecraft 💀💀

Yea every time I see adfly I immediately click off and try to find a better mod lmfao ☠️

I remember when the sims community would defend the adfly people and then cry about malware/broken downloads later

I use modthesims. No ads, just mods. I've never had an issue

Idk why my comments keep disappearing. I use modthesims. Idk why youtube thinks that needs to be censored.

*TheOriginalAce intensifies*

Luckily you can click skip ad to leave it without downloading

Hot single minecraft creepers in your area

Its natural selection

@@hamburger_eatspie more like hot single creeps in your area lmao

​@@hamburger_eatspie youre gonna have a blast on the bed

That was me a decade ago. Our computer was bricked.

same. i wish that the booty site was still running because they pirated adfly and permapaywall content to the masses since the sims 2 days

Thank goodness most have switched to Google drive.

ad - adware fly - annoying as a fly in your room

Lmao me too for me it was sims 4 mods

Duh

Underrated comment

Wait This isn’t rick astleys never gonna give you up

​@@chickenoraria7559it's a joke

Then also YOUR (device here) HAS A VIRUS CLICK THIS TO FIX IT

Even if it's fake

Hot single creeper ladies in your biome

i got adware on my tablet shortly after buying it. and i think we all know why. but i fixed it very quickly so it wasn't too much of a problem.

@Alpha hm?

yeah it looks like one big sketch download button

I’m scared. I pressed a ok download button on adfly. Luckily it brought me to the game I was getting mods for, but please pray I didn’t get the virus.

@@EvanMMD3939 Oh, you like MMD and Vocaloid!! Hi! Nice Secret Police Miku pfp!

wait is it gone?

@@REEEPlayz yeah, all their links got merged into linkvertise who bought them

You mean about the streamline kinda website thing?

You do know modrinth exists right?

Linktiverse sucks man

this was my first thought as well, never really ran into adfly that much until i started downloading sims 4 CC.. it’s abysmal 😭

@@despairinq it was really common with sims 3, too! sims 2 usually opted for patreon-esque arrangements

hi, im from Poland too!

same@@Kamix131986

Your English is good! Also, I’m American; what’s it like in Poland?

@@bubgamingandvlogs3870 it is cool in Poland we have houses shops ect

@aloisy Kurwa stary... naprawdę mi przykro....

Glad you like them!

i got a virus because of this🤣😂🤣😂😭😭😭

This guy takes the risk to burn he ,s computer

@@Islamic_ed1ts Nope. He uses a virtual machine which is a good thing (Fake Pc)

yeah i was looking if there were any safe auto clickers when i stumbled upon this channel!

Almost fell for one when I was younger, I needed more ram to run a mod pack… (thank god I didn’t download free ram)

@@hamburger_eatspie Well, assuming you were on a desktop PC that had four ram slots of which at least two were empty (probably true for most of gen-Z and some b4), it usually literally was as easy as typing the exact EAN or model number written on its label into any search engine and having a parent pay up the ~$50 to slot it in yourself. If you failed to realize that (at least imo) you deserved what "2× RAM 4free" websites offered.

Shut up fur

They changed to linkvertise the website has higher pay and legitimate advertisements now

yes yes he is

As in Pete????

lolwut

​@@jeffzkiller3590*steganography. But the fix for that is simple enough: do not download anything suspicious and do not freely accept cookies.

Modthesims is the safest site I've used.

Sorry if you get spammed by my comments. Mobile is broken and I can't tell if they're appearing or being auto-deleted. I was trying to say that I find modthesims to be safe

Its a virtual machine, he presses one button and the vm is back to what it was before

YOU ARE EXACTLY LIKE ME, I'M SO SORRY THAT THIS HAPPENED ALSO TO YOU!

​@@kkre2022Classic. That's a two step plan. They hijack your dns so that they can redirect your traffic, then they scare you with fake virus warnings. When you google anti-virus, they taint all the results with fake programs that will further infect you

Bruh 😭😭

​@@kkre2022Avoid adfly. Please be very careful of the websites you use.

TORNADO

WHOS BEEN DRAWING DEEKS

Wdym

@@liforra idk i wrote this 4 months ago

Now that Ozempic is out and tested it makes those ads appear even more fake. The ad would just say "Ozempic" if it was ACTUALLY a way to lose weight fast and not a way to merely take your credit card info

Yeah and its sad they would do that

if you want you can revert to an old update in chrome://extensions

Adfly itself has no risks, but as soon as you click on something you risk downloading something sketchy. Just close anything that opens by itself

Yes, I generally use both a VM and VPN.

Same here lol I moved on to another game

I use curse forge and I’ve never used adfly ever

With adfly you ONLY want to click "skip ad" because anything else is 99% a virus

yea same this website is a virus

He knows what he's doing You really think he isnt using a VM?

So, interestingly, I use Kaspersky Security Cloud, and I went on Adfly to download something, and TRUST ME I did not click anything, and then AFTER I LEFT THE PAGE it said like 16 times "download blocked" The first time it said it wasn't a virus, then the others it said it was "illegitimate software".....

​@@MidnightTheKitten What kind of a browser you use? You shouldn't mess with the settings allowing things to download "automatically" without your permission. Also you probably did pressed something but you deny it on purpose or you just forgot.

@@MasterBlek Deny it on purpose...? Why are you assuming things about me for no reason? My dad has been working with computers for over 30 years and he didn't blink an eye when I told him about that happening. He just recommended that I do a computer scan, and preferably one from an external drive to boot up Linux and do it from there. I use Google Chrome. And I don't remember ever messing with those settings. Maybe I did, I don't know. But even then, it should say that something is downloading, which it did not. Do you truly believe that the only way I could have had something download was by clicking something? Do you not understand how viruses work? I've gotten plenty of alerts from my antivirus software saying it blocked a download that was "notavirus:HEUR" or something like that. I looked it up, and it means that it's adware. And that happened in times when I didn't click anything. Why would I, a person who is willingly looking up videos about computers and viruses, be foolish enough to click on a stupid big link in the middle of the screen when I've been using adfly for years, originally to download Minecraft mods? And why would I lie about clicking on it? What could I possibly gain from lying about getting a virus from a website and replying to some random person on a computer video?

​@@MidnightTheKitten Because you read something and clicked on it... I am aware of that psychology and also there is no way for adfly to send files to you without your permission. If a downloading window shows up asking you to "download or not" something then DO NOT PRESS "YES". Perhaps you didn't even read the message and pressed the button anyways thinking that it's about "skipping" or something.

Use fastforward extension for ad fly

What a little can do by stumps

darude sandstorm

Well Adfly is trash. Sometimes it can automatically download a virus, sometimes you need to “Press allow notifications to continue” where they proceed to spam you with ads and there’s so many download buttons that people that aren’t aware can easily download a virus

File downloading would do nothing as long as if you wouldnt run it, it would do nothing

How ?

@@darkson485 deleting it

Well it went through

I'm not. He didn't do anything other than mess around with links, and type fast to make it seem cool. what did he actually find out we already know adfly's sketchy
