There has been winfixer, drivecleaner and now spyware doctor all allegedly got while at this site.

I'd like to know from the admins if they are intentionally infecting non-subs with this crap which doesn't advertise anything but itself and installs itself on peoples computers.
Fair enough-real adverts are inevitable these days, but this rubbish infects your computer even after you log-out of RHP.
And we are told it's fraud to block them!!!!!!!!

Jesus wept. 😠

Don't look a gift Trojan horse in the mouth. 😉

But I agree, this definitely shouldn't happen.

Hey, uh, I thought you were talking about condoms - so I'm really disappointed.

This shouldn't happen, but you shouldn't still be a non-sub.

Well, I only play a few games at a time; and I offered a while back to donate [or half subscribe with no subscriber benefits] as long as I didn't have to have a star next to my name.
Got no reply.

These trojan watchamacallits don't actually bother me personally - if you know what I mean 😉
I just think it's a bit on the unethical side for any site to assist with the distribution of them.

No way! If I were astrophobic, I couldn't watch the nordlys anymore.

Wow.... but why can't we be a non-sub? Yes, I know the site is supported by subs, butcoming here to play and not subscribing is no reason to be infected by viruses of any kind. If it's not intentional, then it's fine, but should still be fixed. If it is intentional.....

As a non-subscriber, we reserve the right to strip you of your fur, pump you full of hormones and test cosmetics on you.

This sounds like FUD. If you don't like the site don't let the door hit you on your way out. Or alternatively you can subscribe.

Who said anything about not liking the site? You are the one always whinging.
It's the fact that trojans/nasties are infecting peoples computers after visiting RHP that I don't like.
If you like that idea, you know what you can do.
