Popular science website

For almost a week now, I've had trouble with the Popular science mag website (popsci.com).

Site comes up with an intro ad, and shortly after explorer crashes and asks me if I'd like to send a report to microsloth. (Sometimes gets to main page first, sometimes not)

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this.

Thanks,

ford2go

Worked for me. That solar power paint looks pretty cool.

I am very disheartened to see that UC Berkley has a Dept of Appropriate Energy though. Who are they to decide what is appropriate?

Thanks for checking. I just Nortoned today, and I had 2 visitors -- first in years. Popsci seems OK now.

Strange, I had no other symptoms.

I recommend you dump IE and get Opera browser. Free online. Highly recommended and I love it.
IE is a dog.
