Scanner2malware
This is the 3rd time that i've encountered this on this site. I've never had it come up on other sites. The thing hijacks your computer to the point that you have to restart it. This hijacking did not occur prior to the implimentation of the extra banner ads a few months back. Seriously folks, you need to get someone to do it over. I haven't been on as much because it's getting difficult to trust the site's security. Now, after a 3rd occurence here, i'm very reluctant to continue visiting the site.

If you see this again, please capture a screenshot and email it to forum @ videopoker.com so that we can pass it on to the advertising department for immediate investigation.

I gotten this several times and it does kill whatever window or tab it appears in. I'll shoot it next time.

Yes, I had it come up a few days ago. I immediately kill the tab when it does. Usually, it comes up as I move the cursor across one of the banner ads without clicking. However, at least one time I had to restart my computer which is why I always kill the tab right away.

I have had this happen quite a bit and I am getting frustrated since I get on this site everyday.

I use AVG Free anti-virus and spyware. Never have any problems. It seemsto be very good, and can't beat that price.

We are communicating with the ad serving company to see what the
problem might be and what can be done. I will report back when I have
more information.
Obviously if you see such a thing do not download anything that it
tells you to download, even if it tells you something is wrong with
your system. That is likely a ploy to get you to download something to
your system.
These malware companies are worthless to society and should be stricken
from the planet. We'll do our best to keep them away from our external
ads so they don't hamper the experience on this site.
