Mediafire and Adfly---Safe or Not Safe?

Ad-fly is absolute garbage and cc creators that do it have such a disregard for the safety of the people who download their content. Even Simguru Kate mentioned how unsafe it was and refuses to evwr download anything from anyone who uses it.

There are extensions you can use to bypass adfly links but the bigger problems is the link shorteners people use which is the worse to make it where they can use it.

I've used mediafire for my CC before and ita been fine. But always protect yourself. Yeah I can understand people wanting compensation for their work, but not at the expense of others. Just no.

If you’re desperate enough, a combination of a good adblocker & scriptblocker can mitigate the AdFly risk enough that you’ll probably be safe.

Don't count on it AdFly can be as bad and in rare cases worse than 4Shared and Baidu and those 2 are already known as trojan, virus and worm hell.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not endorsing AdFly. I avoid it like the plague. I’m just saying that if you absolutely must have that hair (or whatever) hidden behind an AdFly link, there are ways to protect yourself (to a degree).

For anyone who want Adfree and safe Kiara Zurk hairs there's this tumbrl who is uploading their stuff adfree because the owner got a nasty Virus from her and her site and needed to reinstall their whole windows.

Mediafire isn't always bad. But I wouldn't tell my worst enemy to go to AdFly.

You can add an extension to your web browser - I use Universal Bypass- which takes me to the content without having to go through Adfly or any similar re-director that gets money for clicks.

Mediafire is a file hosting service like Sim File Share or Dropbox - in itself it's fine.

Thank you everyone for your insight and good advice! And thanks @MeteoraStorm for the tip about Universal Bypass--I will totally look into that.

Mediafire seems to be relatively fine, but Adfly? Nope. Wouldn't risk it.
