4. You don't have to click on it....it just Pops Up...and you think you can X out
or hit Cancel...but it doesn't let you. I use AVG, SpyBot, Adaware...and Firefox and none of them stopped the "Pop Up." I got rid of it...but it seems to come from here that it just popped up and took over screen. It was an ad here. I don't usually get DU Ads because I pay to support the site...but this one apparently is there...before you log in with your password it seems to lurk.

Anyway. DU'ers helped me get rid of it...it's still out there here and I don't want to alarm anyone..but somehow the stuff I have doesn't BLOCK it...and you the only way to "deny it" is to log out of your browser and come back on, fresh.

I know some might think I'm "woo woo" posting this...but I'm not one who goes crazy over the latest e-mail about "terrible virus" scares that my friends send me all the time. I had a personal experience with this POS thing (Malware)...is what some computer savvy DU'ers told me. Whatever I have doesn't stop it and I know lots of DU'ers like myself use "feeware" and Firefox. Somehow this damned thing is getting through as a "Pop Up" where you don't even have to click on it to have it infect the computer ...you get infected by trying to get out of it. That's why I say...DO NOT TOUCH IT ...EVEN TO GET OUT. Just get out of your Browser and log back on to stop it.
