This site keeps downloading a file called partner.dms to my system. What is it? why is it happening? this just started yesterday. And How can I make it stop?

Guessing it’s a misconfigured ad. Can you send me the file? And any page that it might have triggered on. Forums or main site?

Also I got the same partner.dms file from anandtech as well when I clicked on a linked story that took me there.

I don't know that the other thread helps. I just got the empty partner just now.
