Posted August 10, 20168 yr Okay big issue for me here, and I've surfed various sites to see if this is my problem or a potential Buzzjack problem and it hasn't happened to me on any site except Buzzjack so I'm assuming it's a Buzzjack problem. I'm on Google Chrome and whenever I click to go to the forum index, a file automatically downloads to my computer called "Your_mortgage_payment.RAR". Every single time I click to go to the forum index I get yet another of these files, and it also happens when visiting some other parts of the site such as this troubleshooting forum. As I say, this isn't happening to me on any other site so I'm assuming it's a Buzzjack-only problem. Having endless downloads of this dodgy looking file makes the site quite unusable so I hope there is a fix whether it fixes itself (perhaps it is to do with one of the ads Google is providing) or whatever. And just as I post this topic I get my 6th RAR file download in the space of about 2 minutes.
August 10, 20168 yr Author Okay I followed my own theory and I seem to have fixed it myself. Whenever I loaded a page where Google provides the advert "Starlet Buildings" at the top (or something to that effect), I get the RAR download. Now I used the option in the top right of the ad banner to stop seeing this ad and now I am having no issues so it looks like a very dodgy ad from Google that is causing the issue. At least if it happens to anyone else we know what the cause is!
