It shouldn't.

We had issues about 3 weeks ago that generated error messages and the forum to behave a bit, but it's all sorted out now.

Can you give me more info if you can?

Is it still happening? Did it happen only with one thread, or why any thread? What's the file being downloaded?

Thanks.

The agreement between the China and Russia to stop hacking and spying on each other was not extended to the USA and thus they may have both doubled down on us?
Kaspersky Internet security works for me as they are based in Russia...

Different forums at different times it downloads this:

SF_SmallBiz_300x250_ZONE.swf

Adhwx85Faa8&fs=1-2

Adhwx85Faa8&fs=1

Those last two look like adware. All three of these have happened today.

I was wondering the same thing, I actually thought my adblocker might filter out the ads on the page too but no luck. I use windows 7 / firefox on this particular laptop.

I contacted our ads provider, they're going to look into this as soon as they can.

Please free to report it if it happens again.

Thank you.

I have experienced this as well.. The latest:

Thread: MY TUNES
Time: 07:02 AM Central Time.
OS: Android 4.4.2
Browser: Chrome
File that was downloaded: f95P5TxqhF0&f5=1

The file changes each time. Hope this helps.
