Default something strange with fanhost just a while ago.

first thing that happened when i came in a little while ago was my pc just froze. after about 2 minutes of me trying to click out of the sight i got a warning from my antivirus software saying that it had blocked a downloader. this was while i was in the eliza dushku thread. afterwards things seemed to go back to normal but soon enough everything froze again. i had to completely shut down my pc and start up again this time around.

second thing that happened i went into the general movies section and clicked on the thread called "so glad it's saturday". instead of going to the thread itself a survey popped up. is there some kind of survery being taken on fanhost? i clicked out if quickly and then i was on the thread itself. are these problems or experiances anyone else has had?

Not sure whats up with the first thing. Not sure if its releated to fanhost or not, sometimes you just get adaware that the virus scanner picks up. Post if it keeps happening only when your here.

There is somekind of java pop over ad being used here. Its kind of new, rarely happens since it would be very annoying. The survey or whatever it is, is just an ad, its not a survey for fanhost. Its pretty immune to the popup blocker but it shouldnt be harmful.

Weird ...
But a same situation happened to me in Kristin forum. My antivirus did a "PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III" after clicking in a link posted by a member some days ago.

I never had any problems in Fanhost so that is really strange.
Could it be some false positives that antivuruses are picking up.

I noticed that yesterday Fanhost was inaccessible all day

Did someone had this problem too?
