Nope, no popups at all, because we don't use 'em (other than to send PM notifications or other small things). The only advertisements we have are over --->

I'm guessing if it's on all the forms, it's some sort of a virus or BOT that is made to sign up and do all of the fun stuff, maybe someone just sits and types in the verification code.

either way.. too risky

Is the link for a website that has a membership like they have here with a username and password? if so hes probably running tht site and tying to get people to sign up so he can get those. Since most people use the same username and password for everything on the net and hackers like to do that so they can get into say your email, paypal account or anyrhing on the net with a password that they can profit off.
