Weird pop ups when comign to FoH

For the past 2 days I have been getting random pop ups when going into different threads. Is this a new feature? I have seen ads for everything from cars to porn...

There's a number of malware things that replace banner ads. You have one.

I'm not Requiem, but I'm fairly certain this is no new feature. It's probably some malware on your computer - I've seen no such ads.

Clean out your computer. We don't do popup ads on the network, nor ever will.

My antivirus software keeps telling me the funny/strange/random pics thread has a trojan trying to get on my computer. No other threads do it. I use noscript too so it's rather odd.

Edit: It's been cleared up. Someone hotlinked to a domain that had hosted malware before apparently.

I wish someone would drill that in to my bro's head. Once a month I have to spend 4 hours running through a littany of tests and processes to remove all the shit his computer has collected. Every time I give him shit and try to reiterate that he's exposing our entire office to some ugly shit, he claims he doesn't know how it happened, and we repeat the process a month later.
