bknight:
Slightly off topic, but from time to time, when selecting the 'go to last post of a thread" I get re-directed to an obvious scam site that demand me to call an 800 to prevent my computer from being deactivated to "save the network".  There is an annoying pop up that when closed continues to pop up.  Shutting down IE is the only way to rid the site. 
Has anyone else had this experience?
As I indicated it doesn't happen all the time, but it sure is annoying when it happens.

LunarOrbit:
I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, but if it doesn't happen frequently it is hard to be sure.

If anyone else has experienced this please let me know.

Allan F:
Hasn't happened here. Think bknight must have been hit by some malware.

That is a good possibility, but why would it only manifest itself occasionally? 

Allan F:
Probably so you don't get so annoyed you start an immediate scan of your computer to eliminate it.

Have you tried accessing the site from another computer to compare?
