That says I 'need to post a comment'. This occurs when I try to leave a thread and am not commenting. Its intermittent though!!

Hi Spotty.

We'll look into this for you.

I get that pop up too!
I get it when refreshing a page. Been getting it the last week or so.

If it helps I use Firefox 23.0.1 on windows 7

I have had that pop up a few times.

It is about 10,000 times LESS irritating than the pictures (pg woman with fishtail plait, woman in curlers shaving (????) etc) I get every single time I click on threads I'm on or active convos.

Me too.

I was getting that recently but haven't had it for a few days. If it's any help, I have my laptop scrubbed of malware/adware every night so I reckon I had picked up a small nasty which was cavorting on the machine and is now gone. You might want to try using one of the excellent free malware scrubbers and see if that helps.

Hullo all,

We think it's a pop up from your internet browser, so don't worry about a virus or owt

We will redouble our "looking into this" efforts Smile

cozietoesie · 23/09/2013 14:56

I'd agree. And sorry - when I said 'nasty' I should probably (and more correctly) have used 'irritant'. The overwhelming majority of the stuff you pick up when browsing is not that sinister.

And me

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots · 23/09/2013 15:04

I got it for a few days last week too.
I'm in work, so definitely not a virus or nasty.

I'm on IE 8 on Win 7.

Trills · 23/09/2013 22:49

I don't think it's a virus, I think it's MN being silly.

OliviaMMumsnet · 23/09/2013 23:07

@Trills

I don't think it's a virus, I think it's MN being silly.

We're never silly

MN the machine, not MN the people... :o
