Over the past months it happened a couple of times that while surfing Armorama an usolicited MSN Passport login window popped up. Today almost every time I open in a new window a post from the "Latest posts" page the damn MSN login pops up. Any clue?

I have exactly the same thing for a couple of months now and every now and then In a new window the thing pops up I was thinking I was the only one with the problem as I hadn´t heard anybody about it in the past so I thought it was something in my computer and I actually did not take further notice
Does anybody know where the thing might come from????

Robert,
I've tried to have a look to the pages' source code, but everything looks ok.

P.S.: happy not to be alone...

Try reading the post about 'aerial photos' in the general forum, and it shoud happen again. It has something to do with the UK version of the armorama site.

Guys, read this over here: Computer Cops It sounds like you're being hit with "pop-up" spam. Follow the intructions at the bottom of the page or... you could do what I did, and that was to completely remove MSN Messenger. If you don't use or need it of course.
Go HERE if you want to remove Messenger from you system. No more pop-ups!

Are you sure it's not happening because of the broken image in DMD's sig-line. That image is pointed at an unussual location on an MSN site.
Check to see if some of the other posts you are seeing this happen on include a post from him.
(I think he can see the image because it's in his file space...maybe? But if I am recalling correctly that image has never shown up for me.)
Cheers,
Jim
