Black Owl Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Nope. You must be on someone's "special" list....
SilvrT Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 the contest is over ... that's why nobody else is getting the popup! (I won)
09RSTD Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I have never had it happen to me and I log onto the site from multiple locations and computers. Very Interesting.
Flyinfool Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Sounds like you better do a good male ware check on your computer.
oldgoat Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 i think i better run a good scan. it just did it again offering leather gear and gloves? nice looking gear i must say but it,s from the UK?
oldgoat Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 what ever it is it,s over ridding my pop up blocker. think i will do a full scan. so it does not affect this site
Eck Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Nope....have not seen one ...and hope I dont.. I get enough spam junk email as it is..
etcswjoe Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 You have a Trojan, it will probably start on other sites you visit too.

First_N_Last Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Most malware now is "Script" based... My only sure safety so far is to use FireFox with the add-on called "NoScript". It takes a bit to setup & use, but after that it thwarts all the "Script" attempts from bad sites.
