Maybe just me, but I'm getting a dialog box saying "Microsoft Internet Explorer" whenever I change pages, or a "Netscape" dialog if I use Firefox.

Is there some debug code left in somewhere?

edit - also get "Netscape" if I use Safari...

Mines just started doing the same - click on a link to anywhere within the site, and a small pop-up appears with a title of www.pistonheads.com and simply says Netscape inside with an OK clicky button.

Edited to add that it's cocking annoying.

It's happening for me too... I get a Netscape alert when I'm navigating in FF.

Me too. And an annoying ding.

Yeah I know it's IE, I don't need a box telling me!

It's like Matt Damon in Team America World Police.

"Did you test the patch before you released it?"
"Yes, sir"
"Boy! Did you test the patch before you released it?"
"Yes, sir! Honestly, sir."
"Then what is this pop-up, boy? Hmm?"
"Don't know, sir."
""I don't know sir" ... Well perhaps you'll be able to explain it to me after you've stayed in at break and wrote out 100 times "I will always test my patches properly before I release them into production""
Boy nods, and shuffles away blubbing.

Reminds me of my old woodwork teacher;
Boy goes up to said teacher holding a sorry piece of work with a busted dovetail joint in his hand.
Boy "It's broken Sir."
Teacher "Its a piece of wood boy, it can't do anything. You broke it!"

Oooo - it isn't just cute, it's quite smart. I just tried Hexplorer, only for it to tell me about that too!
