Using Firefox and only when on this board, I get a pop up screen telling me I need to Install some download  that ends in .JS

Now Again using Firefox, A pop up screen and a voice telling me not to shut down my computer,

Use the Report Ad function, as the pop-up may be coming from an ad. You'll find Report Ad as the last entry in the list just under the title of the board at the top of the page.

You have an adware problem but probably not through Proboards:


Remove “Windows Detected ZEUS Virus” Fake Alerts (Microsoft Scam)

If your computer is constantly being redirected to sites that display a “Windows Detected ZEUS Virus” alert, asking you to call a support number to fix it, then it is possible that you have adware program installed on your computer.

These “Windows Detected ZEUS Virus” alerts are nothing more a scam. Microsoft does not send unsolicited email messages or make unsolicited phone calls to request personal or financial information or fix your computer. Treat all unsolicited phone calls or pop-ups with skepticism. Do not provide any personal information.

The bogus “Windows Detected ZEUS Virus” alert is shown in such a way as to trick the user into thinking their computer has crashed or that a virus has been detected on the computer. It does this to try and scare the infected user into calling one of the listed numbers in order to receive support. In reality, though, they will only be greeted with people who are trying to sell them unneeded support contracts and services.

The only time it happens is on this board with Firefox.

It does not happen any where else and does not happen if I am using Google Chrome.
