f.txt download. What the....

[james_tigerwoods]

I clicked on the RX7 with a V8 story earlier and a file "f.txt" downloaded to my laptop - It's source is ad.doubleclick.net - The file's empty, but that shouldn't happen...

What's that all about??

I've just had that in the pets forum. Not really on tbh at least QA stuff before it goes live or if it's an agency get them too.

[james_tigerwoods]

It's happened on another thread now...

I don't think they know what that is.

I had it 2 seconds ago on the truckers thread:

Also had it last night on the same thread, so I've now inadvertently downloaded it twice, no warnings. WTF?

Just had the same thing in that forum.

My computer asks if I want to download the file.

No thanks.

It's the blinkbox movies add I think.

Had it on this thread and my tripod thread. Same advert was showing on both of them,

[Stevoox]

Just had it when opening a trucker thread then when i came to see what peoples comments were in this thread it downloaded a second time

[psgcarey]

It has also spread to boats & planes forum

Getting some odd stuff like this here as well.

Not looking friendly and added to the 'long script' that keeps slowing things down whilst It loads the header ad all the time this place is fast becoming a bit unusable at work. Shame as was missing it due to enforced time away due to pressure of work but now I'm dipping back in I'm reminded of how bad the ads make browsing this place.

Im sure someone from PH towers will comment in the next couple of weeks.

Guys, the thread/area is irrelevant, it's just the ads causing the issue.
