 * The VERY INSTANT I checked my site after putting PropellerAds code on it – within
   seconds, my browser was hijacked with nasty redirects.
 * Shame because the company looks like a decent one in every other department, 
   but this is unacceptable.
 * Sucuri had to clean my site afterwards.

 * I tested this install and I don’t see any browser redirects by default just from
   installing it. Did you happen to pick any specific settings?

   practice by constantly monitoring all active campaigns with automatic tools &

 * If you strongly believe that redirects were caused by our ads, please report

 * You mean your browser is hijacked by redirect virus?

 * I think the redirect virus is not caused by PropellerAds code you installed. 
   Have you installed any suspicious program or clicked on any links? Most redirect
   virus and browser hijacker spread via malicious ads and bundles. You can Try 
   some [removal tools](http://www.trymytools.com/download-tool/) to can your PC
   for malware.
