Why is a Japanese Translation Pack popping-up when I click this thread?

Click it, I dare you

EDIT: It popped up when I submitted this thread too.

Uhm....

Nothing on my end. Just clicked on that link.

Unless anyone has the same problem I would
take a wild guess and say that something has
sneaked into your computer's browser that
should not be there.

Nope, I get it too. On multiple machines.

There is some character that IE, all of a sudden, thisnks is a japanese character. I have gotten the download notice on several forum pages.

PS: it came up when i posted this too. it's coming from the text in the google ad in the upper right corner-- a text ad for Unicef japan (http://www.unicef.or.jp/?as_grant)

That has to be coming from Google then. Odd.

If it continues to happen let me know what the Google ad says and I will email them about it.

I'm still getting it as of now. Definitely looks like the google ad. The ad seems to point to a variety of sites. I'd say I was getting more japanese ads in the upper right corner ad than english ones.

I am afraid I too am getting this pop-up, and I think the problem may be related to the dreaded...

'about: blank' Virus

Here are a couple useful links on it:

Recent Problem Solving Discussion on the Virus at NT COMPATIBLE

Useful Recommendation for Removing this Virus from the NT Pros at Akadia

I also noticed that when I am on the front page of HTF and I place the pointer on "Control Panel" and then click on "vB Home" - instead of sending me to the home page which it used to, instead it sends me to goto: home which appears to be a part of the about: blank virus and redirects me to some randomly selected spam search engine.

This is a REALLY annoying virus and is not terribly easy to avoid or get rid of so be careful and do your homework! The semi-good news is that it does not appear to be a destructive virus... more like a nagging one.

Interesting. I will alert Google about this.

I don't get the same error you are getting with the Control Panel > vB Home that you are getting.

Perhaps the reason I am not seeing it is because
I am using Firefox instead of IE.
