SiteScout flagging AdsBridge domain ?

I set up a brazilian whitehat offer to be run through Sitescout desktop ads.

The click flow is like this:

Ad click --> My Adsbridge tracking link --> if traffic from non-brazil --> goes directly to offer page...and if traffic from Brazil, --> goes directly to affiliate link then offer page.

So the ad got flagged and I got an email saying:

Our scanning tools picked up some malicious activity associated with the destination URL and placed the creatives on hold. Unfortunately, we cannot provide more information on this.
So I need my own domain to go with Adsbridge since theirs is presumably flagged?

Hey!
I think you should ask Adsbridge to check their links, also ask your network. If they don't want (but I'm sure they'll do that for you shortly) you can check by yourself, using tools like https://virustotal.com

It can also be the offer itself, networks fetch the url and the whole redirect chain, doesn't have to be related to Adsbridge at all. One way or another, it's always a good idea to have your own tracking domain - exactly for situations like this one.

You guys are quite right. http://www.ab4hr.com/ (an Adsbridge redirect site) is flagged by 2 sources. #NoobMistake. From now on, I'm gonna informally ask sitescout to review my URLs before submitting them for approval. Don't want to lose my account.
