Anyone else being asked to save a file called seg.js?

Anyone else being repeatedly asked to save a file called seg.js from ib.adnxs.com?
I've run a virus scan and it was clean, and this is ONLY happening on mumsnet.
No way I'm downloading anything I didn't directly click on by the way.

yes I reported this yesterday on the Systweak advert. Is it legit? thread. Scan didn't seem to stop it but have only had it appear once today . Using IE and it was even when I was on the Site Stuff thread !

I've been getting this loads since yesterday and assumed it was a problem with my lappy. I tried to open it, and bugger all happened. Still kept popping up.

@ Rowan!

Its stopped since this thread hurrah!

Hi everyone,

We're working hard here at HQ to work out what's going on with this, we'll get back to you shortly.

Can I just check, are you all still experiencing this problem?

ColletteTech

I've not had the seg.js download come up for a while.

I haven't had it for a day and a half now!

Thanks Boney and Lottie

still happening for me i'm afraid.

Me too.

Could you send a screengrab to [email protected] when you see it? That would be REALLY helpful.
Thanks for the one you uploaded, ImperialBlether.

yep will do.

oh- how do I do a screengrab?

Yup! It won't do it now, of course...!

I'm assuming you're on Windows because this problem seems limited to Internet Explorer? If so, Microsoft can explain it better than me .

@GetStuffezd

Yup! It won't do it now, of course...!

Typical!

thanks.it hasn't happened again but will send one when it does.

juts had it for 1st time today on a Behaviour/Development thread

I've had this sporadically for 6 months or so.

I just ignore it, nothing happens.

I've always assumed it's a bit of javascript that's got lost.

Opera 11, Windows 7.

I've just had this happen twice, both times on the Site Stuff topic. Done a full AV sweep with Avast, and Malwarebytes - all clear.

Will try to get it to happen again, and get a screen shot.

I seem to get it on active conversations when the East ad with a dark haired woman looking sideways appears. Just happened again.

I was still getting it yesterday on various pages. It is most odd.

Hello,

Sorry about this - we're still trying to chase it down.

Next time someone spots it, could you let us know

a) the name of the brand being advertised, and
b) the wording on the ad that's being displayed?

Thanks

Also getting it - yesterday and today, AIBU and Chat. Using Internet Explorer. Will try to work out which ad is displaying/grab a screenshot next time it pops up.
