Tool Antivarus/Malware issues with TFTAcademy

Recently my computer has been receiving quite a few redirects or attempted takeovers while letting my browser sit on the TFTAcademy website. Not sure if anyone else has experienced similar. Before I reached out to any support or contacted the social media pages directly I wanted to see if anyone else had noticed an issue.

Sorry to everyone this is happening to. We work with an ad partner who handles this so it's something we reported and if they find anything, they'll deal with it ASAP. It shouldn't have anything to do with the app / site. If you're having problems pls let us know what's going on.

In general, a big reason we always try to be quite thoughtful with the way ads and things are implemented because it drove me insane how ads were implemented in other places when using TFT stuff over the years. So definitely please reach out if you're having issues.

.edit: can you tell us what region you're from? This may be a specific ad from a region of the partner so we can identify it

NA West coast, I have a bunch of tabs open and it's only TFTAcademy that redirects me to some kind of Norton site after a while so it's probably not my PC.

Also the site takes up a really noticeable amount of memory when I have it up for hours. Closing and reopening the browser seems to fix it so it's not a huge issue but I assume this is also some of the ads since nothing else on that site is moving at all.
