    Another pop-up attempt...

    When opening the thread, "Shooting with my girls", I get an attempted pop-up that is blocked. I get the pop-up outline, but no content and I can still navigate about the original page (though it is grayed out). The 'box' turns red and the pointer turns into the 'finger' only when the pointer is inside the box. I have not tried 'clicking' inside the box. The url listed at the bottom is what it shows for the area inside the box. Also, I think I remember that this post would not open for me back when it was first posted. This is very similar to the "Bad Pop-up" I posted about on 6/23 except it appears to be partially blocked. Full screen snag below. - TF


    EDIT - I cannot reproduce it???

    I get it in too. The box pops up and asks me if I want to perform a security update for "Flash Player 10 for Windows Internet Explorer". I'm not using Windows or IE (using a mac, running Safari or Firefox).

    Please give me a link to the thread when you find something like this. Otherwise I have to search for it and that can take some time.

    Found And Removed

    I found it and removed it. Thanks a lot for reporting that. It was a nasty one. It only appeared once for me. But it was malicious javascript for sure. These new popups are scaring me. That one was the most legit looking popup yet.
