beware of this browser pop up window.... ad1.zendmedia.com this pop up, as you will see when you click on it, is really causing problems for people who think they have cleaned their system of the msblaster worm. the pop up just displays the flashing System Shutdown warning, complete with a time clock countdown and urging the user to click the link for a "fix" the pop up ad uses one of those kiosk screen modes (full screen, no directory, location or tool bars, only way out is to hit alt+F4 or alt+tab) it's really stooping low in the sleazy advertising category, imo this very alarming window popped up when on msn.com (of all ironies). if you click on the site, and go to buy their "firewall", all of the credit card and personal information entered at discountbob.com is sent via nonsecure payment URLs ...no SSL... just don't let it catch you off guard, and hopefully your pop up stopper program precludes you from ever seeing it in the first place. hth
