    This is the pop-up I'm getting. It plays no video, and the link does not exist.

    Seems to be a virus and needs to be destroyed immediately.

    Me too plus I get the Media Player window and a random PDF file to be downloaded :(

    Of course I accept/open none but that is annoying :mad:

    Fixed. It was an exploit on the site, which has been removed.

    I'm still getting the pop up but with VLC media player as well as the request for additional plug-ins when using Firefox. :(

    As Danny noted in the other thread, clear your browser cache. I still had issues this morning until I did.

    I've cleared cache and cookies, and it is still happening. I'm using the latest Firefox, and I have adblocker active.

    system restore worked for me, just make sure you restore to a date prior to when you first recieved the pop-up content.
