Just the forum thread listing, it just happen again when i came to this section thread listing. I did not click on the bar so i have no idea what it is. Just trying to find out if another members have had it happen.

It is not a pop up block, is a download request by the way. I will try to get a ss.

You may want to check your computer for spyware, etc as EvoM does not run pop-ups. I've checked for this using 3 different computers on 3 different networks running firefox and IE and cannot reproduce the 'error' you're referring to..

Well, I appreciate the heads-up. I'll try to re-create the event; a screen shot could be helpful next time it happens.

Try using an Internet Explorer that is newer than version 6, they are on version 8 now. Or use firefox and download the addon called noscript. If its due to one of the flash banner ads or anything else you actually have to allow each website address to load. Noscript and adblock are 2 of the best addons you can get to help make your PC secure. Firefox imo is a much better browser than IE....Microsoft crap is just such junk. To much of IE it is integrated into your operating system. I hate how M$ codes their programs.

I do at home, but at work i can only use what the computer has installed. I dont think this site has any pop ups for adverticing, at least i have never encouter them before.

I just got the same pop up on the thread putting ss now...

Hmmm....I'm not sure about that one....I'll relay this to the tech guys in IT and see what they can come up with.

Might be trying to download an updated flash plug-in, but that's just a guess.

Im thinking this might be the case. But i figure let you guys look it from a security prespective just in case.

I wasn't talking about popup ads, I'm talking about the flash banner adds you see on the side of each page and in the header at the top of each page. The ads from places like K&N, and Perrin. Pop up ads are an entirely different beast lol.
