annUH Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I keep getting a weird popup while visiting the board today. Both on my laptop and on my other computer. I scanned both but they didn't find a virus. I use Google Chrome, just tried it with Firefox and I got the same popup. It only seems to happen when I click on the first page of the NME 2011 topic in the Media section though. It's especially weird that the popup's dutch, and I'm dutch so it could also be a local problem. (I just asked my dutch friend to click on the link, and she got the popup aswell) At the top it says 'Verification needed' and it asks for my username and password. Of course I haven't given those. I was on another forum a while ago and they had the same problem, the site went offline for a while and the moderator took care of it. Apparently that site got hacked, so I hope that isn't the case with the muse board?
LyraSilvertongue Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I've had the same thing! But mine was in English.
Meep Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Probably someone's stupid sig. edit: I get the same thing, don't see any obvious reason why. Keeeev?
Zaphod Chizzlebrox Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 It's normally because someone's linked to an image that's password protected and the loading of the image forces a prompt pop-up.
kev Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 yep usual case of a user with a sig image on a basic auth protected site. I've found the image and removed it so you shouldn't get this message anymore.
