The link seems fine to me, goes where it should. I didn't get any pop ups or anything. Maybe you should scan you PC.

Good point.
On a different site I had something like that happen when I clicked on a thread and no one else had a problem. Sometimes the stuff takes a little while before it "opens" up.

OMG! I need to quit to doing **** before I have coffee. I meant to delete the last post in her FSOT thread and I just deleted the whole thread. FRAK!

There was nothing wrong with the link, it went straight to Picture Trail, no pop ups, nothing.

A friend had this same crap last month. It wasn't from here it was from facebook. It took me a while to get rid of it. I finally did a restore to get that crap off their computer. Also gave them some very strict instructions about clicking on stuff that is "important'.

I got the same thing the other day when I clicked on her website. She has great stuff and its cheap but I got that same pop up and when I closed the window out without clicking on any of the other stuff. My norton antivirus popped up. What ever it was norton took care of it cause I have ran a scan everyday since then to make sure

I notified PT because the link from here is fine, so it must have been something on their site. Nothing there now.

whatever

I never try to X out or close those windows because you never know if that will in fact download more onto your computer etc. I always do a end task on that window.
Not sure if it makes a diference but I feel a little better.

I had that happen yesterday too, but I was in here in off topic. Hadn't gotten to the fsot yet. I'm thinking it's something else in here.

I picked this up somewhere a few months ago, it was awful! If you get one of those popups I would do like whatever does, and end task out of it. I made the mistake of clicking on the link, didn't run the scans or anything, just clicked to see what was going on, not realizing it wasn't my antivirus warning.

Something took over my computer so bad, I spent two days trying to find the problem, and when I found the folders containing the bad files, I was not allowed to delete them! I had to wipe my computer and start from scratch. So be super careful with this!
