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?

Hello. Thanks for alerting us to this.

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

Did you see any ads on that page, Conflugenglugen?

Thanks - this is all v helpful.

Any info you can give us about what you're seeing - and what ads are displaying - will help us hugely in trying to sort this out.

Thanks all.

OK, we've disabled some ads and are investigating further.

Do please let us know if you get any further warnings like this.

@Pinot

I had this too - my virus scanner had about 8 or 9 warnings. Sorry I didn't think to check the ads bu I'll know for future reference.

No need to apologise Pinot! But yes, this is usually an ad thang, so def worth noting for next time

Hello. We've just cleared the cache of old ads, too. So all should be well now.

Do let us know, please, if not.

Sorry about the system restore, Maryz - eek!

@PersonalJesus

Oh, and would the virus thing explain why I was unable to post properly the other day?

I was trying to post, but I couldn't do paragraphs as the return key didn't seem to want to work. However, when I went into word to check this, it was ok?

No that was a regular bug, PersonalJesus. The Techs fixed that, too. Bless 'em.
