I just started to get this twice -- looks like spyware to me.

Of course, I clicked on "cancel" when this came up - twice so far.

I just got it a few times, too. It's not the first time it has happened.

Brian · 03-05-2004, 02:23 AM

I just got it again.

Yikes.

I got 120 something things in ad-aware tonight.

Didnt TJ say that was an error in the Script of the Banner Ads that caused the Download thing to pop up? It happened alot in the past and im pretty sure i heard him say that it was just an error.

I seriously doubt its spyware, the worst ive gotten from SO are tracking cookies from the Banner Ads which are mostly harmless.

I'm working on it.. it's a problem with the code.. it's not spyware or anything.. just cancel it out.

Yikes! I had 100 something the other day when I ran Adaware, and I was NOT pleased at all. And I run Adaware every other day.

Usually I just get tracking cookies, but this time it was full of all sorts of crap (one that was high risk) that was on the computer itself, not just internet cookies.

Same here. It found a LOT of Regkeys and a bunch of other stuff, including a folder...
