Annoying "GrubbishRemover" ad
Many times when I visit the forum I get a pop-up that is in the form of a Windows message, asking to scan my computer. It doesn't matter what I click... Cancel, OK, or even the X, it takes me away from Movie-List and to their fake scanning site. Very annoying. |

We've been trying to track down and remove this ad for a couple of days.
If it happens again... get as much info as you can.
(image url, clickthrough url, screengrab, etc.).

Here's what it looks like when I come to the page. Ironically, it only happens once a day for me, not every time I visit the site.

and just incase some people don't know.....clicking the 'X' is the same as clicking 'yes' or 'cancel'. you need to go to your task manager and kill it from there.

Safari is also vulnerable to this ad. I don't really care for Firefox on the Mac, and prefer Safari over Camino in most cases.
