| Hi. Sorry about the nature of my post but its the only way I got to know about it. Since I joined to the site I'm having some "notifications" from Taboola, a known ad malware. At first I didn't establish a relationship between Galaxy and this. Even now isn't clear that that relationship exist, but yesterday I did a complete format and fresh install of my operating system and today, with a really small navigation history, after coming here, here it is! Taboola again... Someone else have had this here? some solution to this? I tried adding 10+ domain names to my host file related to Taboola but looks like they have some new one... Again, I'm not saying that Galaxy is responsible, it could be a victim or have nothing to do with it... I'm asking because when this kind of things happen its logical to walk over one steps and warning others about it. I'm sorry if I'm bothering to someone with this. Juan | |

| Which Operating System do you use>? Google Chrome is the best browser to use and even without having an Ad-Block extension on my browser, i have got no Pop-Ups or notifications from Torrent Galaxy. Let's say one is not logged on to the site with their username, they may receive ad banners on top of the page, that's it. But No Malware or Notifications of such kinds from TGx. Also, Taboola is not a Malware. It's an Advertising Corporation which is based in NY. It flashes Ads through banners. Last edited by NatalieNY on 2022-04-19 00:47:49 | |

| Hi. I was using Linux Mint 20.3 with cinnamon desktop and now Linux Mint 20.3 with xfce4 desktop. The advertisements appear in the notification area (a bell close to de system clock) and pop up on the upper right corner of the screen. I didn't say that the ads are from here, only that this was my mayor navigation change and because of that I ask if someone else have this problem. It could be from another place, the only thing that make me look at here strongly was that after format I went to three places and here, and right after that Taboola again... About the malware thing... if someone deliver unsolicited ads with an invasive technique and maybe colect data about you... how do you call it? I know... internet... If this onlu happens to me then is from another place... I'm going to see how I get rid of this thing. Thanks for the help and you time! | |

| Hello. If you are using Linux Mint, this issue has risen due to a software with a non official source or script. Good luck. | |
