Default Popup ad or virus when logging on to the forum?

When I click on the forum, I get a pop up ad that shows "insurance doc update" and asks for a click to open an MS Word doc. Obviously, something's not quite right there.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks Seal Team Six, that was helpful in pointing me to the help forum. See, you helped me. Like a true internet warrior, helping the virus defenseless. Were you deployed with Jesse Ventura by chance?

It's been a few weeks but it's back. I only get this on CF.

Please post a screen capture showing the issue as well.

This thread is nearly 4 months old and appears to be different from a few of the other reports about gift card notifications.

Also, that it only happens on CF, as you suggest, does not necessarily mean it's CorvetteForum's end or that it doesn't occur elsewhere. There's millions of other websites using some of the same ad services that CorvetteForum does. It probably be a full time job to load other sites to get a more accurate gauge as to where and how frequent this specific one is.

Google shows CorvetteForum is "clean". It's possible it's from an ad service, which isn't specific to CorvetteForum.
