    Thanks for the heads up.

    We are not supposed to have pop-ups on this site, ever.

    Just to keep you guys informed:

    I have the latest version of Flash, so that couldn't be the plugin it was trying to get me to download.

    Also this little survey popup comes up every once in a while.

    Joe, right now, we only have Google Adsense on the site and since everything runs back through their server before it is served to publishers, you can be sure that the ads are clean. There may be a residual problem though from the previous ads. Have you run a spyware program?

    We should be pretty clean right now.

    Appreciate the vigilance. It certainly helps.

    If you see a pop-up, let us know.

    What's the staff's stand on "talking" ads (commercials)?

    Just got startled by one because I didn't realize I had my laptop volume way up.

    Joe, we only use Google ads now so the ads should be safe.

    That said, if the "talking ad" starts with "Hey, big boy!", accept your destiny and "ride" the rode to success

    Joe, have you checked your computer for spyware or adware? As far as I know, we exclusively use Google Adsense and they absolutely don't serve pop-ups.

    I would also point to possible spyware or cookies.

    Our stream has been 100% Adsense for awhile now, and they do not serve popups.

    Anything is possible, especially given that I seem to be the only one getting these; but I just switched from Windows Live to Norton 360, and neither indicated finding any adware or spyware.

    And I'm only getting these specific popups here.

    Yeah can I chime in hear and say I got the same virus threat as Nabo but mine was caught by Avast! (and his by Norton it appears) as it was trying to access my computer. It appears the virus definitions even match up. Seeing as how Nabo has this on his computer and my Avast! caught it before it got there it does seem to be possibly ad related or not Nabo specific. Also I scan my computer weekly with Avast!, Malwarebytes, and even McAfee (I got an infection a few months back and stay very cautious now lol). I'm not sure why Adsense would be returning a problem, because as you guys said it's very clean (maybe it's google analytics then? since both virus reports are reporting it). Maybe it's a bug being caused with Firefox because I notice both Nabo and I got the error in some regard to Firefox. Hopefully this may help shed some light on it in some way and can lead to the problem getting fixed (if there even is a problem). :up:

    Here's my pic (sorry for the huge pic):

    I have been getting this as well, every now and then. It started right around the draft or so. My Avast has been catching it.

    I came here to report the same thing.

    AVAST shows it who's boss, but its a scary sight.

    Thank you again for your vigilance brothers and sisters.

    It should be taken care of now. Might take a few minutes to go into effect though.

    Let us know if you continue seeing these issues this evening or thereafter.
