I've X'ed it out both times. . . It looks like its a virus. Anyone else get that?

I just clicked some thread and it came up. I don't remember where it was though.
	Back to Top I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.

I usually just shut down and reboot and it goes away. Just do not click on the link to have it run the virus scan!

Speak of the quackin devil... I just clicked on a "quote" tab to a fellow Inforooer's post and I got it.

Way too common right now for this to be from something other than inforoo... Mods?

And during that, I was using Internet Explorer... use Firefox for watching videos and IE for simple browsing and posting.

I know those things... but this is something that's just popped up from no change whatsoever (atleast visible) and for this type of response in such a small bracket of time, it has to be something recent, and definitely with the site.

Crazy, because in the 3 or so years I've been on here, I've never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever had anything like that, so seemingly nonchalant (from clicking to quote someone) too.

I was reading the proboards help forum and it seems like this has been happening across all the boards today. So it's a proboards issue and until they figure out WTF they're doing to stop it, there's nothing we can do. It's actually been a problem with the ads for a couple weeks now and they've been trying to change the way they have ads appear and whatnot, but these virus things keep popping up. I'm not sure what to tell people other than don't click on whatever pops up.

So far today it's been fine.

I had the Anti Software virus. It was horrible, but I got rid of it for free.

Anyone who gets it go here:

www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showforum=7

They are like Inforoo, only for computer stuff. The most awesome people ever.
