No idea why but this keeps popping up when I click threads. No one thread does it, and when I reopen a thread that it popped up before it doesn't the next time.

anyone else?

it's from ads. whoever those people are have been buying ad space on sites and putting up ads that are infected with malware. adblock is 100% your friend in this case. also be thankful you're not using IE.

actually I may have got that wrong, it might not be from ads.
