Strange Advert Grab on this site.

[WD4]

I get exactly the same thing if I use Google to go straight to the BNP section. I get the ad that won't 'go away' and won't let you close it,unless you click on a certain box. Trouble is, clicking on this box either will invite something into your computer, or advertise something about you to the outside world, clever!

This is a script written especially to do this, and in itself is nothing to worry about, as long as you don't click inside the window. The only way around this is to go into the browsers preferences and turn off 'javascript' (usually a check box). Once this is done, you will be able to close the window without it popping straight back.

You can then turn javascript back on if you wish as it is useful for certain pages.


Edit to add: I've also experienced some embedded video starting up without me clicking on them (youtubes mainly)

Thanks for your input. I going to move away from Chrome for a while and see if it solves the problem as well.

A little later entry.

Interesting on the new pute I installed Firefox and went directly to BNP forum from Goggle.
Same advert page and Malware blocked by that putes AV which is different to mine. Testing other BDF sub forums they all OK. Is someone trying to stop new users coming to this section from Goggle.
