Is anyone else getting a spyware warning when they try to open a rapidshare page.

Sometimes My Trend Micro wont let the page open and comes up with a spyware warning. I know its a strange thing but rapidshare has been throwing in some pop-ups lately.

Just wondering if anyone else was having this too and maybe a warning for those that dont have a decent anti-virus.

What I should have said is that it does not happen everytime I open a rapidshare page, maybe one in ten pages.

Haven't seen that one Sir D, but there has been a rise in the number of popups lately. I had to reformat once due to that problem. Confused

I think it is picking up a cookie it knows to look out for from one of the sponsers of rapidshare. My home page has one on it.

I always clear all cookies every time I am finished using the internet regardless. Actually I always clear everything just in case.

No I thought of that Esteban and have it set for cookie control. Its definetly spyware, Called Adclick or sex click.......I allowed the page to open and bam.....just be careful my friend, I would hate to see our members get spammed or hacked.
