when logging on to Vol Nation.
Something like Explorer.exe or something.
What is this?.

Hit cnrt alt del and look at the processes running. Youll see it in there since you have windows. Not a problem, like he said above its probably your security software

Hey, Freak, mods I think there is a run amuck invasive program lurking. It is a PDF file creation program and it will load whether you try to stop it by telling it not to load or by trying to cancel it. Its something called cloud 9. Additionaly I have not been to another site this morning and had to actually wait while my security and utilities ran.
I run IE9.
Just a heads up.

Not sure what to tell you orangeblooded2. You seem to be the only one experiencing this issue. I'll continue to keep watching. :dunno:

Actually, I had the same thing happen yesterday. Thought it might have been another tab I had open, but the same pdf creator file thing downloaded.

Yep, just got it again myself. Only ads visible were the Volnation store, a Mazda ad and this funny looking one at the bottom of the page:

That has to be the culprit if it's an ad. I'll see if I can isolate that one.

Got a strange popup on mobile in the ghost thread, something about local jobs and not allowing me to navigate away.

Didn't think to screencap, cant replicate.

Happened again, but didn't try to download this time. It was a pop up that got caught in my blocker.

I can't speak as testament that this is malware, however I am now all the time by IE9 getting kicked into compatibility mode saying that there are problems loading with Volnation. Does not happen anywhere else.

Anyone else experiencing this problem please speak up.

I cannot say with 100% certainty that its not on my end, I have brought this computer back to life so many times I'm getting a god complex. But is telling me the problem is here.

compatibility mode should have no connection to any malware. That is usually an IE display issue
