I'v gotten about 5 popups in the last 3-4 weeks both at home and on my work computer(both use EI6).

...all of them was the kind that attempts to scam to user into thinking that its a real windows messagebox claiming you might be infected by virus or spyware and to get a free scan by installing some malware ....

It doesn't come with every visit, and all of them has been while reading the mazzle forums during the last few weeks - don't have any screenshots, cause i useally ctrl-alt-del and kill the browser process.

I'v scanned my home pc with addaware and it found nothing but cookies and the useal MRU's. i highly doubt that my workpc is infected, because not only am i even more carefull when at work - but also because at work everything is managed centrally.
