Malware, Viruses, Security Settings

[gk10002000]

Why all of a sudden to I get this popup whose text I pasted below?  I have routine and fairly standard security protection things running on my computer so I don't understand what it is asking.Is Thai visa asking or demanding I change my computer security settings so that I may be more exposed to malware, viruses, etc?  I don't stop ThaiVisa from running ads.  How can what my computer do possibly impact Thai Visa?  If Thaivisa posts the ads didn't Thai visa do their job?  Maybe I don't understand but how is anything different than as if I am driving down the road but I don't look at the billboard signs.  The company fulfilled their contract didn't they?

Looks quite a draconian warning.

TV makes money from ads, they want you to disable your adblocker.

The ad has to be actually displayed in order for Thaivisa to be paid, you don't have to click on any advertising.

 

Obviously someone has to pay for hosting and all the other costs associated with a site of this size and since members get access for free ...

 

I'm going to close this as discussion of ad-blockers and advertising is not permitted by the forum rules. I will try to get further information from the upper echelons as to what the future holds.
