Default Annoying advertisement

When I'm logged in, 2 times there has been a "5" gum (or something similar) that pops up on the page and WILL NOT go away. It doesn't move with the window, just blocks what you're trying to click on. Refreshing the page helped once, and clicking "cerrar" on it to close just makes it smaller til you move your mouse out of the way.

I know you have advertisements if you're not logged in, but this seems a bit much, just wanted to see if this was supposed to be this annoying or if there's a problem.

Hi there, this is most definitely not an ad of ours. I'd suggest a thorough scan of your own computer for malware etc.

cheers,

Yeah you def have a virus/malware issue. I recommend AVG anti-virus. You can download it free on google and it's one of the better security systems out right now.

Could be wrong tho, thanks.
