scoutldr Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Starting this morning, I'm getting a popup saying "This website wants to run the following add-on:"Microsoft Data Access - Remote Data Services Dat..." from "Microsoft Corporation". If you trust this website and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here..." Anyone else getting this and what does it mean??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutNut Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yup, every time I open a new tab or window. It looks to me like it could be a data miner, and that is NOT something I want running on my PC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHaul Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 What I'm getting is a long list of "http://www/xvgao..." in the history. So you can't go back to your last screen. Anybody with more computer savvy than I know if this is dangerous? LongHaul (This message has been edited by a staff member.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
local1400 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yes, I am getting it too. It is annoying to have to keep closing it so I can navigate through the forum. The sad thing is I do trust this website. Moderators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SCOUTER-Terry Posted August 20, 2007 Administrators Share Posted August 20, 2007 I believe this problem has been fixed (around 7pm CST). Those are NOT a part of this site, and should not be trusted. It's a result of a virus that was embedded into posts. TERRY HOWERTON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
