Keep getting download dialog box popping up...

[Mr-Topp]

Hi,

Need some help and advice.

Every so often I keep getting a download dialog box popping up asking me to download a afr.php file !

Any ideas what it is or how to stop it ? see image below.

Thanks for the swift reply.

I have cleared cache regularly but it keeps coming back.

You should read further past the emptying cache suggestion on those pages as there were better solutions.

Am I missing something ? the only suggestion in that thread was to clear cache

Have you noticed if you are browsing a certain website when it seems to occur?

As it happens yes I do, VB4.

From quickly reading around the subject it seems its a problem that may have something to do with ad-rotation software (the banner ads). I would suggest contacting the admins on the forum that it is happening on.

 

[Mr-Topp]

Well if that's true then it's possibly the cause, the site has rotating banner adds which change every 20 seconds

Thank's for you time and help, at least I know it's not serious was just bugging me out
