indianajones Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 You'll only ever be attacked if you clicked, downloaded and installed something. Pop ups will always happen on these sites but they are pretty easy to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 this was obvious and I didn't download, but it wouldn't let me escape the screen without shutting down at the socket. I turned the computer off which sent me to standby, which didn't do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Robbo Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 When I used to stream on my PC I always opened my browser in a sandbox to help give a bit more protection against this sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Robbo Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 https://www.sandboxie.com/ This. I never had any problems when using it. I was still very careful though.(i.e. don’t blame me if you still get a virus 😜). I’m sure I read Microsoft have/will introduce a sandbox as part of windows.

If you don't use a sandbox such as Sandboxie, or at the very least NoScript or similar, while using sports-streaming sites then you're definitely running a risk of getting infected.
