I am using Firefox, I have no idea what version.
I am from Illinois.
I was on the main forum page attempting to access My Posts.

This is the virus scanner site it takes me to is System Veteran.

It's a fake anti-virus program and spyware, which I'm not too happy I get from accessing my favorite site. Make it go away.

Happened again just a minute ago. Had to close down and come back.

1- IE 7
2- Pacific Northwest
3- Was browsing My Avatar. Got a partial site name before the window changed. Something like "trustedantivirus[something].com" ... and it didn't have a www prefix. Then the window turned to an Okay/Cancel box.

1) What browser you're using?
Internet Explorer. Im not sure which one but it is one of the newest versions.

2) What area of the world you're in (a rough estimate, like "Southern U.S." is fine - there's a theory it could be geographical)
Southern US

3) Anything else you can think of that might help us track this down.
It was on the My Gaia page. I cant remeber much after. It lead to a site that had a pop-up stating I needed better virus scanner software or something

I constantly get that one that you have screenshot..

as well as these:

Note: Memo:

the Virus Scanner Ads follow these other ads as a solution to rid the offending "pop up" ads..
Which is much like the "scam that the "home security/alarm installer" did back in the 1980's ..

he broke into people homes .. then came back to sell them the "home alarm system" ..

Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain
So I swore to thy razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again"
