[Image: attachment.php?pid=285480]

Has a virus (passwordstealer) crept into this page? It's only on that certain page it occurs an it wasnt like that yesterday. Please look inta it.

I don't notice any strange behaviour, and I looked at the page with Mozilla and Internet Explorer. Also, it does not look like a virus to me, but just like a login window for MSN Communities :-/

Indeed, it seems to be just an image in The Napster's signature. This image is hosted on MSN Communities (German site, therefore .de), and you have to sign in to see the image. Therefore, that window pops up. Nothing dangerous, I'd say :)

Things like these shouldnt popup outta the blue! If it is caused by Napsters signature (i dont see an image inthere just a red cross) shouldnt he remove it??? I don't trust these popups one bit!!!

It does not pop up for me :S

I see de.msnusers.com in the titlebar of the pop up window, and I see it in the location of an image that does not show up. Manually going to the location of that image shows that I'm not authorised to view it, and that I have to sign in. That's what the box is for, if you ask me :-/

Broken images should always be removed, in my opinion. He could remove it to see if that solves your problem - and I believe it will.

I use IE to view these pages cuz im using customgamespatch an links in the tab will open in IE then. When i go to the page an scroll down a bit it pops up.....

These popups can scare da shits outta someone cuz there was a thread bout passwordstealers before onhere (when those kinda screens pops up you never know what it is)...i hope if Napsters signature is removed it will be solved.

Edit: done some researchin..went to Napsters Profile and to some of his other posts an it is indeed his signature causin it!!! PM-ed him to read this thread and remove his sig ;)
