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.

@ImperialBlether

What's occurring? Are you in Gavin and Stacey?

Arf
Nope I just like the turn of phrase
Right then OP
First of all are you using Internet Explorer to view this ? If not what are you using?
Second of all, please can you tell us WHAT the ad is that you're seeing when being asked to download weirdy stuff?
Thanks

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

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!

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

Aha! Thanks VonTrappFan

Thanks for your help on this everyone.
We've put a block on East ads, can you report back and let me know if you're still getting the download message?

Ooh, I do hope so!
