Best Ad Networks with no malware in 2026?

9 comments

Yeah, malware alerts on popads/adsterra are a pretty common complaint from what I hear too. Might be worth asking around for ones with a cleaner reputation specifically for adult traffic. Following this thread, curious what others recommend.
 
Popunders are always going to trip AVs, its the format not the network. If you need clean, drop pops and run direct banners or in-content offers from sponsors in your niche, paid per lead rather than per thousand.
Pays better too once traffic is targeted. If you must keep a network, ask for display only zones and block the redirect ones in your account settings.

Hi
Can you please list the best paying adnetworks which gives no malware ?
I already tried popads, adsterra the AVs alerts on all of them. I need to find the clean ones.
Hi there , we know how scam and malware attacks sites and dissatisfy your users .

You can try networks , that have there one unique anti fraud, double verification system , for instance in Kadam , it is Kaminari Ad .

I'd separate an unwanted pop-up from an actual malware or phishing detection. They can annoy the same visitor, but the fixes are different. Save the exact warning, time, browser, country and ad-zone ID, plus any creative or redirect ID the network exposes. Send that to the network so they can identify the campaign rather than just saying the domain is clean.

For a trial, use one zone, conservative frequency and a clear way to disable it quickly. Compare revenue together with complaints and return visits. I wouldn't treat any network's '100% clean' claim as a guarantee, or tell visitors to turn their protection off. A high CPM loses some charm when your users think the close button is a boss fight.
 
jimp nailed it, it’s the pop format, not the network. Every pop network rotates through the same pool of redirect advertisers. If AV alerts are killing your returning visitors, the lost traffic costs you more than the pop CPM pays.
 
Hi there! If you are looking for a balance between solid CPMs and clean ads, consider trying Hilltopads. It really worth testing :)

We take ad quality seriously, with ad moderation and anti-fraud measures to help protect publishers and their audiences.

A few other advantages:

  • Multiple ad formats – Popunder, In-Page Push, Video, and more
  • Flexible frequency capping to avoid overwhelming visitors
  • Anti-AdBlock solutions to recover monetization opportunities
  • Weekly NET-7 payouts, starting from just $20
  • Personal account manager to help with setup and optimization

Of course, no ad network can guarantee zero antivirus alerts, so we'd recommend starting with a small test and monitoring both revenue and user experience.

If anyone here wants to give HilltopAds a try, feel free to reach out. We'd be happy to help you find the right setup for your traffic!
 
Can anyone recommend an ad network that offers an excellent CPM for banners only? I don’t want pop-unders or anything of that sort, because most visitors dislike them and end up not returning to my site.

Hi, dear Prada! We recommend you test Kadam

If you want banners only (no pops) — that’s doable. Just set expectations: banner eCPM is usually lower than popunder on the same traffic, but you keep UX and return visits, which matters long-term.

Kadam works well for that setup:
- classic display banners (standard IAB sizes), no need to run pops

- you can also add light formats later if you want more revenue without new tabs — native or in-page push (on-page, no redirect spam)

- adult traffic is fine if that’s your niche

- weekly payouts, clear stats by format so you see banner performance separately

Happy to help you set banners-only and compare real eCPM on your GEO for a week — without enabling popunders at all.
