Any one having issues with alot of popups and random virus scanner stuff off of Sarcastic gamer?

It has just happened to me for the last 30 min and it seems to only come up when I go to the home page on this site and no others.

I ran my cpu virus program and spyware with no results found. My browser has not changed it just started happeing:undecided:

First, investigate your antivirus scanner. Aren't the filters set to a ridiculously high level? What viruses is the scanner reporting? And, most importantly, what antivirus software are you using?

After checking that, see if it happens on any other browser.

If yes, that means your computer is infected with some crap. Change your antivirus software and do an HDD scan.

If no, that means your browser is infected with some crap. Reinstall it, change your antivirus software and do an HDD scan.

Well my full scan showed up some tracking cookies, cleared them out and re-installed my browser and it seems to be good, so far.

I dont know what caused it? I am on a work computer so there is no funny buissness, the only site I ever go to is SGC and Gamercast Network. It just started as soon as I hit SGC home,

But all set now, we will see if it happens again.

Thanks Regua for the quick help!
