Gofile link takes to me to dodgy site, possible malware, Anyone else having this issue?
I've been having problems with gofile for months and have to open links several times to get it to not redirect me, but this week it has been amped to the max. I get redirected 10/10 times now making gofile worthless. I'm surprised more people aren't noticing or mentioning this problem. I guess everyone just has bad anti-malware detectors and is maybe already compromised?

nod32 dont detect anything and avira dont detect anything
I'm just telling you what I am getting on my end and I don't seem to be alone, and it only affects that one website for me. I'm playing it safe for my own financial security and peace of mind.

I have the complete opposite experience. GoFile is the site with the fastest speeds and almost always works. Only the SUPER popular releases get congested sometimes, but nothing a quick full refresh wont solve.

Gofile has been easily one of the top speeds for me too which is what makes it so painful for me to step away from, but it is what it is. That link norton show the redirect is clearly not gofile and I can't get around it. Not much I can do about it. It concerns me because it seems like some kind of hidden imbedded link that will still send you to gofile at some point, but probably does something malicious before you get to your intended destination.

And do you use an ad and/or a script blocker or not? Also, gofles let me directly to the file...

I run a vpn, malewarebytes, eset antivirus and my browser has norton in it. That's the extent of what I use
So, no addons that blocks adds or scripts. Therefore any "rogue" ad can insert some code redirect, etc., so I guess that would be it.

Rogue ad meaning one imbedded in gofile. Yea probably what the problem is, but it's still a problem with their site and the advertisers they are finding.

Is this where she gets dared to flash you, perhaps? Have you progressed the Samantha quest to the point where she needs to see you performing body searches on the students? If it is that point, those two quest parts are linked. Samantha will tell you she could smell weed around the dorms, but I'm not sure what is the specific trigger point to that.

No I already did that. Now the note tells me to wait for liz to misbehave again.

Hmm, I don't know then. It's a pain in a way, but once you have completed a quest, I don't think there's an easy way to go back and see what was involved. From the replay library, it looks like after that "flash for cash" scene, Liz's next quest scene is "the mystery streaker". Have you had that one? I think you have to have lunch in the cafeteria (possibly a couple of times) for that one to trigger.

Yeah that was it. Didnt notice samantha quest updated again and I was supposed to go to cafeteria. I pretty much never go there naturally. Thanks!
