At the end of this thread Insane said to start a new thread if problems came back.

My work anti-virus pops up after every click on this site. Page to page, every couple seconds.

Welcome back, suspicious viruses. Way to go.

Mine has a dialog box that pops up and says: [attachment=39428:vr.JPG]
Seems like firefox 3 is catching something, so I just went into adblock and blocked anything from *worldstatistic* now its gone.

Again? Damn ... so much for the updates.

I'll have to try Firefox and Chrome when I get home, all I have now is IE6 at work.

How does this keep coming back? Do the forum owners just sell out to vendors/advertisers looking to stick a trojan on your system for advertising purposes? I don't know, this isn't good IMHO. I like this site and it is super helpful, but I dont need friggin viruses.

I use adblock and noscript on firefox... it's pretty darn good and I haven't had any virus warnings yet.
