The "Altium popup ads" Thread
« on: September 12, 2016, 11:11:08 am »
I can't read this thread because my internet security software blocks it.
Apparenly it contains 1 pixel by 1 pixel picture which are known to to be used by unscrupulous entities for covert tracking or even worse.
Since I can't read this thread I don't know exactly what it is about, does it mean that Altium are not only hosting adverts but also suspect adverts? Or is there just a suspect advert in the thread?

Nothing of the sort - it's just a screenshot of a popup ad in Altium hosted on imgur. I think you need new internet security software there  ;).
