The problem lately is that the new windows that open are displaying phishing and/or distinct malware characteristics, stating that my computer is infected (I know that it is not!) and directing that I go to a particular website and/or call a number to remedy the problem.

These types of activities have only started in the last week or so. If anyone has any info, I would appreciate knowing.

I've been having trouble with several of the sites in this way. I try to avoid them but also miss out on a lot of files I would like to have. I've complained about several of the sites to no avail.

I don't know what you mean by "to no avail", I assume you didn't like my reply posted 6 days ago? viewtopic.php?p=3502393#3502393

It's funny how Chrome and Firefox despite them saying they block popups and popunders don't. Resorted to getting a plugin to fix it called popup blocker pro.
Now no more popups no matter how many times the sites try to make them happen when you press download.

I am new sharing here and want to give my reasons for using Tusfiles and Userscloud

1. I have payed for one year of service to both these sites. With this my files are guaranteed to be available for a year unless there is a copyright claim or I delete the files.
2. Unlimited storage because I paid.
3. Unlike most other sites they do not limit upload speeds or download speeds for the paying account holders.
4. I am able to share full folders with others.

I will whenever I can offer a Zippyshare link but if the file is larger then 100 mb I will not restore that link.

So you know if you use both an ad blocker and a script blocker you can out of the box block some of the garbage these two sites throw at you. With a bit of tweaking of these two you can block nearly all the garbage.
