Junk Pop-ups on the Forum
SemperFiGuy:
Anybody besides me getting an incredible bunch of junk pop-ups all over the screen when they log onto this Forum?
Down at the bottom of the screen, I'm getting "Java drivers out of date"...... clearly a veiled invitation to download a virus.
Right hand side has "Hot Deals" from the NFL Shop.
Left side, bottom has some kind of bizarre jumping-jack pop-up that says I have a Trojan Horse virus.
Other junk pops in and out from time to time, including a reset of the Forum screen which requires clicking the "X" to get back onto the Forum.
Zillow just popped up. Spontaneously.
Challenging, all that, to a Forum Junkie.
I use Norton frequently to scrub the system. This mess only occurs on the NFOA Forum.
Anybody else?

WOW! DHS possibly?
I've not seen any of this, and I've been fooling around unprotected for quite a while.
Hmmm.. What did you do? And Where have you been?
RLMoeller:
That's bad.
You have malware. I've seen that prompt before on other pc's. Get a malware cleaning tool, like Malwarebytes
Not caused by the forum. Haven't been seeing this on any of my machine while accessing the forum.
GreyGeek:
Nope, but I run Linux. Specifically, Kubuntu 14.04.
I never get infected with any malware.
You are probably running Windows.
If you are using FireFox then check out NoScript: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/

Yep, Malwarebytes. Get the full version and let it run. I bet you will be surprised at how much it finds. 1 piece of code in the registry will cause havoc.
