I'm wondering... has anyone here who plays this game had new tabs or windows open
on your browser while visiting this site?
It's obvious that Battle Forces supports a lot of advertisers on their pages
and I was looking at their Privacy Policy which states...

This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.

I have had
new tabs open advertising Casinos and other stuff, but it only happens when I visit Battle Forces. Most recently
Malware Defense and
Registry Defense... which are both bogus computer protection programs that offer FREE DOWNLOADS. These downloads are actually scams that compromise your OS to make you believe your computer is infected, then urge you to
pay for an upgrade that will clean up your system and protect it in the future. If you see these offers
DO NOT allow them to load as they are a major bitch to remove once they get in there.
Malware Defense got into my PC last week and I have no idea where it came from or how it got there,
but I suspect my recent experience with this rogue program is somehow linked to the
Battle Forces site.
