I am not getting that doing a scan, it pops up when I load the first forum screen. I will see what I can find about the directory and check my pc for the file indicated.

Tom it looks like you are getting a notification from Java itself. Are you running v7+? It's a new "security" feature since Java is such a piece of **** - they warn you about anything it tries to run in any of the new versions since 7.

What operating system is everyone using and IE Version? I am using V7 UPDATE 21 for java (newest). I do believe my error would be popping up on the other computers had an AV not picked up the popup first. I can try running on one of my VM using a lower java version to check.

O/S - Windows 7

browser IE 10

Java Update 21

Only had it happen twice yesterday. Both time within a few seconds of opening a page around 4:30PM when I got home. Ran a full scan with 2 AV programs and system is clean.

I'm wondering if it can lay hidden then pop up. I had it once after my post on Friday, but seemed not related to backcoutnry at that time.

Methinks you guys may have some malware going on on your respective machines. There is still no malware being reported on the server.

The fact that you got the same popup on a different website would lead me to think the issue is on your computer and not this server.

The popup Tom got is something new (and stupid) that Java is doing and came directly from Java, not his antivirus.
