I got the same download requests as well, and I ingored them unil one of my coworkers who was using my computer (INSERT ANGRYFACE) accepted one of them and then 3 notepad windows popped up containing the word "bootloader" or something.

He decided to tell me about them only after closing the windows. Had I gotten the chance to seem them, I would've copy/pasted the contents into this thread, but since we're not all made equally (i.e some people are stupid and click "ok" to anything), I have no idea what this download request is about.

Someone is bound to chime in with a more informed post.

Cheers,

Phil

If someone has more info on what they're seeing, please share. I just popped open an IE window on EvoM and I'm not getting any such message.

If you're getting the message I'd strongly suggest running your favorite anti-malware scanner.

The same thing is happening on my computer and I don't know what's up. I did a full scan for any virus's and rebooted as well as logged out and back in etc. This computer is new and it's not happening on any other computer in the house.

That's for taking that screen shot, gives us the file name. I'm going to pass it on to the site devs and see if they can track it down. I'm guessing that it's coming from one of the ad networks.

Although I have not experienced this, otter has already forwarded this to the tech guys to get an answer for you, and I will also follow up on it.
