French users of Microsoft games and services are being shown ads that redirect them to scam surveys, polls, or other unwanted promotions. Some of these ads are also able to escape Microsoft games to load the scam ads in the default browser used by Windows.

This ad campaign started April 23rd when users in France started to see their browsers redirected to advertisements at a site called getheprzietoday.club [1,2,3]. These ads were appearing in Microsoft services such as Hotmail and Outlook where users would suddenly find their browser redirected to ads showing surveys, polls, and spin-the-wheel scams.
Ads escape Microsoft Games
Some Microsoft games, such as Microsoft Jigsaw, embed advertisements that are also affected by this campaign.
It is important to note that if you are being redirected to these types of scams from Microsoft services or games, you are not infected. Instead you are being shown ads that are causing these redirects.
