Links being redirected through AD sites

i have found that many links are being redirected through ad-generating sites like Tyroodr, Cuelinks etc.
like this :
*cuelinks.com/redirect?pub_id=54CL3...-3rd-gen-ci3-2gb-500gb-dos/p/itmdfzf94ywgkxez

frankly, this is highly irritating and due to my settings, i cannot access these sites unless i enable link redirection in my browser, which i wont do, because i should not have to go through a bloody tsunami of ads just to get to a link.

is there any way to remove the stupid redirection from such links?
any help would be much appreciated!!!

Sadly it has been implemented. The admins(Raaabo and ico) will know better.

I think there are enough ads on the page already and atleast the links we post can be spared?

Same problem here with KIS on my PC. Keeps blocking the link, which I have to manually approve each time.

Yes. I have to manually edit the links everytime I want to open some link.

@Anorion, I'm on TDF v6.5 (Others too I guess). This has nothing to do with theme (I Guess).

I am facing the same issue with forum, KIS 2013 has also stopped me from directly clicking websites links given here. Very annoying.

Any FireFox or Chrome add-on to go around this issue which can remove these silly link re-directs from the page ??

Its going via a redirection URL first, then to the original destination.

Security Suits present in PC (like Kaspersky or other anti malware) is able to detect and produce warning for the same.

weird... will check on chrome and firefox, suspecting it has to do with how the url was posted as well

I used chrome.

Under The Mobile Theme, the URL you posted opens directly, but under TDF v6.5 and the NEO TDF Guest, all the links are going via some crappy redirection URL :(

Well it has nothing to do with theme. It's present in all theme. And KIS blocks the URL as malicious.

I saw one thing,

Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer. Software license management, IT asset management, cyber security audits, and more.

This code is not putting that redirection URL :p

Code: 
[url**=***www.belarc.com/free_download.html]*www.belarc.com/free_download.html[/url][/url]
** -> remove it in actual posting
