Video ads, spyware

I do not have the videoads, yet a few moments ago my farm stopped working and the computer was running fast, i saw a line stating that something like unrulymedia was uploading some files, as soon as this stopped everything worked fine. However i started a spyware scan and it came back with a lot of the files associated with the GGS video ads... question is why should they be loading when i do not even have the cinema on my farm... spyware.. that is why GGS get paid for allowing these video ads :s

    What your malware software detected were most probably tracking cookies that we use to determine, store and forward (anonymously, in case needed) e.g. your game's language / country in order to be able to provide you with potential videos in an appropriate language that you can understand and have benefits of. 

    These cookies should do no harm whatsoever. I'm curious, though. Do you not have a movie theater at all or do you just experience issues with videos being shown? Were there any other files found or what was the message given to you?

    Where have both of my comments on this subject gone?  They were both here yesterday but now they have disappeared.  I was hoping for an answer to my query but instead they have gone.  :(

    I have the theatre but all through the day I have the tv screen saying that that there are videos to watch. I click on it only to find that there is a problem with the videos. Try again later.  I am lucky to get 2 videos per day. 

    So please Nafaru please answer this query.

    Neither Rhomboid or myself ( in same co-op) have the theater, which makes me wonder why any tracking cookies for "potential" videoAds would download when no theater is present.
    Any tracking cookie has the potential to cause harm, are GGS in control of what level of tracking unrulymedia takes ? if there WAS a problem with an unruly cookie would GGS take "credit" for it or just pass the blame.These VideoAds are one of the worst things GGS have brought into their games, GGS can try and be as secure as possible but third parties may not be.  Of course cookies are required to run Big Farm as it relies heavily on cookies so cookies cannot be blocked fully
