    Random popup

    I just had a popup window close me out from OS and then basicly go into one of those your computer may not be protected crap. I was reading the thread in this section about someones sig not showing up. Seemed like one of those things you guys like to know about and fix quickly.

          This happened to me too, and closed the site. Is there a virus on this site?

            As I mentioned in the "embedded malware??" thread, the same thing happened to me two nights in a row about a week ago. I suggested that perhaps there was a malicious script in one of the ads on the site since I was only in the OS Neighborhood main page when one of them happened so it couldn't have been from a script in someones signature. I use IE8.

                I'm glad that someone started this thread. I've had it happen multiple times here over the past months. Scary stuff.

                  I posted this in the embedded Malware thread.

                  I just got hijacked again. The program is XP-AntiSpyware 2010 and it automatically installs on your system.

                  I was in the non-sports gaming>Heavy Rain forum and Windows Security Center popped up for no reason.

                  Then this started running.



                  Malwarebytes cleared it, but I had to change the file extension to .com as it disables all antimalware exe files. I can show you the log files of Malwarebytes if needed.
