Weird pop up windows
Since about noon or so, I started getting two window popping up under my main window. They are...
default.com
WebFile.com
They are only occuring while I browse FTE, and they appear to only come up when I'm using Firefox. So far I've run a Spybot S&D scan and a MalwareBytes scan and not found anything.
Is this happening to anyone else?

FTE's tech staff is concerned and looking into the problem. The word is, it's not harmful. Just annoying. They will keep us posted, but anyone experiencing the problem will be the first to know when it's fixed.

They had better do something real fast because I won't be a supporter for long if these things keep popping up. Just getting to this page got me hit SIX times by default.com and webtrends.com. In fact, I am off this site as of now till further notice as it is more than annoying. Not only that but the buttons for new posts were missing along with the button for edit. Had to go to Chrome to find them again. Irritating...

I had no pop-ups when browsing from the office this evening but now at home Firefox is blocking 2 pop-ups.
Just relax man. I am sure that they are working on it.

It seems to be linked to ISPs rather than FTE. I've got wildblue Internet (sat) and am unaffected. I've talked with other members that are using satellite Internet and they have no problems either.

I'm somewhere in the middle...
I'm on AT&T dsl and using Firefox. I'm not getting the pop-ups but my screen jumps each time I click a link.
I'm sure it's related somehow because I'm not getting anything on other forums. It's annoying as hell though.
