Hey, I just wonder why you have chosen to use adfly for the free downloads. Beaning afraid of viruses I don't like the site due to their popups and ad. I also think that it makes this site look very unprofessional when getting a popup of a naked lady when downloading your mod. So I just wonder why have you decided to use adfly for free downloads?

I'm not sure but I think not in every country you get navigated to an adf.ly site and for the problem with the ads, it isn't promods's fault ;)

Its like this, the only way to reasonable give you a way to download the mod without having to pay for it is to use a file hosting site like Zippyshare. That site needs to make revenue to keep its lights on and continue to provide the service for its users, thus they resort to allowing advertising sites like Ad.fly to provide them with that income. Since this is the choice of Zippyshare to show Ad.fly's advertisements it is not one that has anything to do with ProMods.

If you wish to not see adverts or popups I'd suggest you look into browser add-ons like Add-Block/AdGuard, Ghostery, and U-block Origin and many other options that can protect you from ever seeing pop--ups, ads, scripts, and prevent your data from being tracked. Those are some good starting options that will stop you from seeing those naked ladies ;)

This subject comes up regularly and our stance is that it's the best way to sponsor the free download. If you are annoyed by it please use the paid service instead, for further information you can use the forum search on this subject.
