These have been going around for MONTHS :thumbsup:

Can you (or somebody) tell me how to report bad channels?

Hint if you don't want to get infected: Don't use a proxy with youtube. You get so many ads, and last night I had a popup saying "WARNING! Your computer is infected with __________ and __________! Do you want to clean your computer of these threats? Scan now!" I turned the computer off instead of pressing Cancel or X, because you just KNOW those are rigged to download too.
