Random Downloads?!

[WolfpackWife]

I've noticed this happening probably about four times now, over the past 2-ish weeks.

Every once in a while, I'll navigate to a new page in the forum section, and suddenly the internet download bar will appear at the bottom of the page. On an off the shockwave plug in crashes, but I don't know if that's related. I took a screen shot this time to show the download bar at the bottom, and also the plug in crash (again, not sure if that's related). Shortly after this, I got a "page is unresponsive" notification with option to "kill" or "wait".

I don't know if this is a "thing" or not, but I wanted to let you know. Also I'm sort of worried the page is downloading stuff on my work computer...

And again just now, after returning to the main forum page:

I haven't had any problems on my Galaxy. I'll post a screen shot if it happens again.

I run Ad Block in Chrome and have ever gotten anything. I generally turn off Ad Block on sites that I want to support, but the ads on here are generally noisy and obnoxious, so I turned it back on at some point.

This happens to me too. I'm on chrome on my computer
