    Can anyone give me any clues as to why Adscend Media and Trialpay don't work for me. Adscend is the one I'm bothered about but it's just a grey screen with no offers. Trialpay gives me a 404 error.

    Just thought I'd mention that AVG notified me of a quarantined virus via Moziall firefox. I do use firefox exclusively for SB :(

    Glad it caught it though, shows AVG is doing its job. What were you doing on SB when you got the notification?

    I've had the video pages (ncrave and the Watch section) redirect my page to completely unrelated spam pages and even once a !!!!!! website, which is VERY sketchy. I never leave ncrave to run unattended because of this. I do not trust SB 100% - another reason why I will never do any Discovery offers that require a credit card, they have not earned that trust.

    As others report above, Swagbucks is linking to some questionable websites.

    For example Swagbucks watch is continually causing Avast to block threats from websites such as w3p.checktrax.com and bldr.trellian.com.

    McAfee frequently blocks links on some of the offers and even on the "5 random pages" nCrave but the timer keeps running on those ones so I prefer them blocked anyway.

    If only it would credit the 6 SB (minimum). I've watched countless ads with the meter set at 4 of 6.

    It only credits 1 SB for watching 6 ads, if it's done 4 of 6 that's only 2/3 of one SB earned

    yes, this is the one - checktrax - that comes up with AVG as well.

    Does anyone know of an easy discover today? Mt usual EngagemeTV stopped onto grey screen after 4 on the first round and now had 1 ad which didn't even credit. Not working today.
