Apparently whatever script is running wild out there, it's got the same MO: attempting to download and install malicious programs on our PC's. Good thing most of us have decent AV software, those things fool a lot of people.
Note to admin: is there any way possible to stop the forum from loading those scripts that are known to be harmful, or do we have no choice because of the sever?
