I keep getting the same security popup and redirect whenever I access this site.  It only happens on this site.  Sometimes it will redirect me to a webpage that wants me to download something.  A quick Google search says it's advertising malware.  Anyone else?  The popup says ib.adnxs.c*m.



The problem with Socialists is they eventually run out of other people's money to spend!

Some people are too stupid to realize how ignorant they are.

I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

I'm immune to crap like that. I use Firefox plus add-ons.

I haven't seen it, not yet anyway.

Have you tried running MalwareBytes (It's Free)? Or, check out the following:

Bassman beat me to it. You're infected most likely, I'm afraid...

Never ask a geek 'Why?',just nod your head and slowly back away...

I seem to have gotten rid of it for now.  Strange that it was only happening when I accessed the VRCC website.

Have you tried resetting your computer to a earlier date before you starting getting that popup?

My Firewall caught it.

It tossed it into the Quantine folder, and since I didn't do anything with it, it tossed it out and blocked it for in the future.

I just checked the server, and there haven't been any file changes that are out of the ordinary.  It all looks as it should.

go into your control panel, then to add remove programs and remove the program that is the same name as the properties as the ad..right click on the ad itself and look at properties and you will see what the name of the ad is..then remove it from the add remove programs,,,
