None for me. Score one for Internet Explorer.

Maybe it's just an add-on you're running.

I don't seem to be noticing anything, but i'm going to inform ACAMS of the stuff ASAP via PM.

I havn't seen anything like this yet, you may have some sort of adware, you should update your definitions and run scans, if you don't have it, get Malware Bytes and Avast AV. Unless of course this is the site trying to make some money.

Ironic, isn't it?
Anyway, this wasn't happening prior to today and I haven't suffered this issue elsewhere yet.

I'm on Chrome as Badnick so that might be something, what browser are you guys on?

Same. Not getting any links here.

I will scan the forum again, but I just scanned it a couple weeks ago ..... I think it is probably just those that see this that have adware on your comp.

smells like adware to me
