When I visit this site, I often get an annoying pop-up message, apparently from this website, marked "Error: A security problem occurred".

The only way to get rid of it is to ctrl-alt-delete and start task manager. But it pops up again soon thereafter.

What gives?

This has been happening for about four days now...and appears to be getting more frequent.

What is the source of this error message? It's not from this site, as this site produces no such messages.

It's either coming from your browser, your anti-virus software, or your PC is infected with malware.

That's what I thought too, Mike...but the funny thing is, it doesn't happen when I am browsing other sites; it only happens when I am reading the threads here.

I will try to put up a screen shot when I get home.

If this were something that were happening to a lot of folks on here, somebody else would have posted that by now...

That screenshot might provide a clue as to what is going on...
