Thanks for the link.

I think everyone should read this to understand this can happen from any site which has banner ads.

Time for Windows peeps to get a banner ad blocker?

I just hugged my Mac.

Yeah, what is a virus? I thought you took prophylactic for that?

As an important note. ExPo hosts all of the banner ads and none can be animated or cary pop-up or run scripts. All are scanned.

We do not run any outside ad connections to the forum, like Google ads, etc.

Which is the way all site should be done. It protects everyone. Thanks for keeping ExPo safe. :victory:

NAXJA does it this was as well (IIRC).

I note that there is a add-on for Firefox that is recommended for stopping banner ads. I've d/l'd it, but not yet re-started FF to see if it works.
