said to restart pc so it could deal with it, so I did that.
Came back onto MN again and same thing again:
Am creating this post so I can report my own post and let HQ know that way.
Havent had any other websites open, so has to be MN - didn't they have this problem the other week, or something similar?

Anyone else?

there were ads, but i'm not sure which ones ... hang on ... will click on back to see if there's anything there, because it'll probably be from my cache ...

Yes! I've just had "Malicious Toolkit" blocked by Norton. Hmmm.....fishy......

I had this, and it was something to do with java (I came straight to active convos, but can't remember what ads there were, sorry).

Hi there, it was Here Comes the Highway Rat when I first came onto MN.

Did you see any ads on that page, Conflugenglugen?

Conflugenglugen · 01/10/2011 10:31

Yes, just happened to me too. Right now. From the Active Conversations page.

Hello. Thanks for alerting us to this.

Any chance you remember what ads were displaying when you logged on?
