What's going on?  Is one of your advertisers trying to do something he shouldn't be?

Good thing you're running Opera

BTW did you know today Opera Software gives away free registration codes for all supported platforms (except the mobile version)?

By the time he reads that the offer will be over already. It's just for a day and it started yesterday.

Actually, I haven't.  This is my work computer and I wouldn't dare.  Why?  Is MHTMLRedir.Exploit associated with porn?

No but porn sites have much lower standards when it comes to keeping malware installers off their site.
