Fraud isn't only fake traffic — it can be a harmful ad. A landing page that hosts malware or redirects to a scam damages your publishers, your partners and your brand.
Built in: daily landing-page scans
Since release v8.1, advertiser landing pages get a daily malware scan, and newly registered and rotating domains are flagged. The protection layer on Ad Fraud Protection also includes brand-safety content review, advertiser screening and alerts: when a scan finds malware, an alert "Landing page flagged" appears, ready to review.
Malvertising Scanner — $149 / month
The Malvertising Scanner goes further. It opens every advertiser landing page every day, the way a visitor would see it:
- Every landing page rendered and checked daily
- Brand-clone and deceptive page detection
- Redirect chains followed to the end
- An alert before a bad campaign spreads
When a landing page is flagged
- Pause the campaign straight away.
- Open the alert and check what was found.
- Ask the advertiser to explain. A hacked site can be fixed; a deliberate scam cannot.
- If it was deliberate, suspend the account — the Advertising Policy prohibits malware, phishing, forced downloads and auto-redirects.
