TCF has just started trying to install the latest copy of Adobe. Its happening on almost every page I visit. If it was only once or twice per forum, I could live with it.

So I won't be back very often until you find a way to stop this driving me crazy. Yes, I know I'm being unreasonable. :mad:

I'm a bit concerned about this. According to iDefense, the Adobe Reader exploit that is going around right now was spreading through banner ads. It wouldn't be the first time a bad guy tricked a legit ad compay into serving a malware banner ad.

I suspect if this did happen here even for a brief time we would have heard from more than one person.

here's the link to the securityfix blog in the washington post. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/02/hackers_exploiting_adobe_reade.html

Is anyone still seeing this problem? Also, is the browser trying to download / install Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Flash? I know some of the ads running involve Flash (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/), which would require that plugin if you don't already have it.
