    If it's the same as the ones I've seen, kill it with Ctrl+Alt+Del when the popup window shows. You'll need to click on the window for the crap download to start. Of course being malware, it's enough to click anywhere on the window. Kills IE, but way better than the alternative. Don't use the restore function either, it loads the malware commercial again.

    Restrictive downloading stopped it first time I've saw it (or whatever that yellow bar is really called), but I'm not intending to see if it still does.
    Haven't seen it personally for a while.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I guess I'll stop using Internet Explorer then, before I get it too.

    Apparently this is still happening for IE users. We're on the verge of losing one regular guy from one of our hotseats because he doesn't want to come to the Org anymore and get this virus...

    I talked to the host about this, he needs to know which banner is responsible for that. Do we have any clue?

    Yeah, I got this virus from the site at least 5 times this week. I had to manually delete it from the Temp Folder in the computer because Norton can't identify it.

    I just got it right now too.

    I made a small change in an attempt to narrow the options down, do people still get it from now on?
