If true, coinurl is partly to blame. I know how easy it is to buy advertising through that service, but they should check that any malware isn't included in any banner.

I have scanned the site with virustotal, the result is: https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/b7a8302fdf9e284c2905510fd0eb99fb2edee5741d476af377d55936634a7559/analysis/ the site contain malicious thing which can harm your device.
That's have 2 possibilities, the site contain malware or the malware itself from ads which placed on their site. Anyway coinurl has been stamped as scammer before their site contain malware, people should aware and stay away from them.
Not gonna agree or disagree with what you said, but, regarding that virtustotal scan. It's a false positive from one of the worst ever AVs.

1/51 AVs found a threat, and prob no one who's reading this message has heard of it ;p

Most of the advertising platforms have malware's now. I got one while surfing and it was so annoying for many weeks. Lastly I had to reinstall the operating system.
The owners of the website should do some random checks for these things, it'll affect the population of the incoming users.

It's most likely that they're just crap, not a malware site.

Generally advertisers that are related to Bitcoin will respect the privacy of the advertisers far too much, groups like Anonymous Ads and coinurl.  That will result in dodgy ads and malvertising regardless of the service.  It doesn't make the advertiser a malware site, it just makes them annoyingly  unregulated.

Usually for ads fiat advertising services will be better for now just because of the nature of Bitcoin advertisers.  Just for being interested in Bitcoin I get a lot of ads from Ponzi scams anyway.

I suppose they don't have time to check all of their ads or just lazy because it's money coming to them. As I've seen that most of the ads which come from bitcoin-based advertising platform often contain malware and could potentially decrease the daily statistics of unique visitors, it's really a problem for those who primarily offering great service and content for readers. Just enough with shitty pop-up ads which always popping out secretly and really disturbing.

1) Wrong section
2) It's the advertisers who upload the content, not the service,
3) Contact them and let them know that you've found malware being distributed through their service
All of these are valid points.

However i have stopped using them some time ago after seeing lots of issues they have specially delay in processing withdrawals.

The minimun withdrawn now is too hight, this is why i dont want to use coinurl.com  Angry

"What is the minimum amount that can be deposited or withdrawn? What is the commission rate?

The minimal withdrawal amount is 0.01 BTC. Withdrawal commission is 1%. This commission is not applied to the withdrawals below 0.15 BTC per month."

I remember getting one of these malwares a month or two ago , the malware name was pwwysydh
tried many anti malwares and non was able to remove it , it was really annoying with much pop ups I ended deleting chrome and installing it again
in general you can't trust such sites or traffic exchanges , cause somehow people with malware ads are able to constantly post their ads
and the site usually discover that so late , if it even discovered that

Beware www.coinurl.com !!!!!!!

They used to offer legit bitcoin ads for my website.

NOW the site has no coin url ads because I removed them, they were uploading malware to my browser and causing fake ads to other sites popping up all over my site AND other sites in random places, with some trying to force stupid fake flash downloads. The only remedy was to delete all data off google chrome. It took me hours to remove every instance of coinurl ads, and hours more to isolate them as the problem, thinking my site was hacked!!! GOD if I could have any wish granted, I would have telepathic, psychic and teleportation powers. I would quickly pay every human being who hacks others for criminal purposes, every thief, and about half the fuckers in government a visit. These goons would all be judged mercilessly and on the spot by me!  Angry


Bitcoin is one of THE most important inventions of the century and will be partially responsible for world peace and the preservation of mother earth. Why in the hell do these god damned faggots have to waste time giving bitcoin a bad name with hacks and malware??? DEATH TO THEM ALL!

DO NOT USE COINURL.COM UNTIL THEY FIX THEIR SITE AND MAKE A PUBLIC APOLOGY.
And they *BETTER* not be the ones behind the malware, and instead one of their users has gone rogue. Otherwise their action is unforgivable!
