"Better safe than sorry" when it comes to DS and other sites with poor advertising practises. Not necessarily to ALL websites.
I activated AdBlock Plus/noScript on this site as soon as I saw the kind of adverts and scripts they were trying to run ages ago. If they decided one day to sort themselves out, I'd turn them off.
This annoys me. So you're computer literate. So am I. I'm also aware that DS is a business, and it needs ad revenue. So it's a bit harsh saying you can't trust DS. DS has given you more than you've given DS.
A business must realize that good will has limits. I am was quite prepared to put up with the ads until I was attacked twice from a DS ad. It would be naïve of DS to EXPECT anything else.

I switch Adblock off on plenty of sites, but I'm sorry to say Digital Spy's track record doesn't fill me with confidence. Digital Spy has had malware in some of its ads in the past too.
Twice when I've click onto threads, I'm being redirected to porn sites? It happened once on the Big Brother forum and then again on the X Factor forum.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else or if I need to run anti-virus.
Sounds as though you have inadvertently loaded a trojan, or some other malware.
This is the point where they tell us they have a rogue advert (again).Maybe it's about time they knew EXACTLY what their advertisers are dropping on it's users and dumped the ones that cause this kind of crap.It has proved to me that no one should view this site without adblockers and Noscript.How many times is this now ?
Look, not a lot of people know this and you have to promise to keep it a secret if i tell you but you CAN find porn on the internet. It make take you a couple of hours of searching to find the small amount of comtent but it DOES exist.:eek:

LMAO, yeah there is only a very small amount of porn on the internet, so little, that ive never seen any.
Not happened to me today or tonight as yet but this has been a regular occurrence over the last few weeks. Always on the iPad when I'm on ds. Also happened to my wife while she was on this site.
I had the same "local sl**s" ad pop up when I was using my iPad!! I wasn't on digital spy though, I was on Barclays fantasy football!! Never had this happen before, bit concerned since my little brothers use the iPad all the time
I just googled ipad porn pop up and there are loads of results from varius forums saying they are experiencing this on other forums. So it might not be a ds fault unless its all the forums by the same company that have a problem?

I feel left out! Not happening for me!
Have run a Malware scan, and nothing.

PMSL brilliant!
Same here......
By any chance, was that particular redirection to ITV's TOWIE webpage? :eek:
The vBulletin software used for forums is very widely used and perhaps that might have something to do with it then?
