Default Google Ads Security Pop-up

Started last night:

Every time I load a new ET page, I get two Google Ads Popup Security Warnings:



Anyone else getting bogged down with these? I sincerely hope this is a fluke and will go away.

You've got a security setting messed up. Go to:

Tools> Internet Options> Security> Custom Level> In the ActiveX section, set "download signed...." and "download unsigned..." both to "prompt". Set "initialize and script ActiveX..." to "disable".

Is that MSN Explorer? Last night i noticed a couple of times when I'd click on a page on this site it would take me to a google screen that said error 404 or something like that. It was weird.

The whole internet was flaky yesterday if any of your "hops" were in the northeast. Big fiber optic plant fire someplace, I heard. Had people's cell phone's wacked out too, since the towers are connected by fiber.

Why, yes it is.

And I've had the same thing happen, only instead of a 404 error, I'd get an IE error. Weirder still.

I just press F5 to reload the page, and it would load just fine.

Graphics heavy and painfully slow, I like speed and a smaller foot print.
Why not download the others and try it yourself? The ones I listed are all free that is why I didn’t include MSN explorer in the first list. Safari is good if you are on a Mac.
