Systweak advert. Is it legit?

I've googled it and there are a LOT of complaints about this company on scam reporting sites etc.

I am confused as to whether it's systweak themselves or something pretending to be them that is the problem - however I think ads that encourage people to click on a button like that are generally dodgy ime.

Could you check please MN?

Thanks Smile

@Rooners

It's on the right hand side on almost every thread including this one. >>>

It's a square blue ad saying 'clean up your PC' and an 'Okay' radio button.

At least it doesn't jiggle Grin

OK. We'll try to find it.

We've blocked anything we can see that's to do with this, Rooners.

If you're still seeing it, you may need to run a malware check. Sorry

@Rooners

Oh thanks Helen. I didn't know malware could appear in the same place as MN ads, I don't have it on any other sites and I'm browsing all the time today.

I will let you know but I can't see it at the moment.

Cheers again x

Ah ok, could be that our block is working now, then.
