the bright tag dot com?

[Velitrius]

Every time I log in to BFC, I get a little pop up on the bottom of my screen. It reads:

Do you want to open or save tag.js from s. thebrighttag . com?

And it gives the option to save, save as, or download.

It happens each time I switch pages as well.

Is this something imbedded in BFC, or is it a problem on my end? The only time this occurs is when I'm on BFC, and not any other website.

I have never seen that on my PC.

Interesting, Frank. It pops up every time I switch pages as well. Only on this website.

I might need to update my anti-virus and such, but so far it is only BFC related.

I run Avast anti-virus and mostly use Chrome for my browser, if that helps.

 

[Velitrius]

It does, Frank... thank you.

I looked it up and as far as I can tell "thebrightag" seems to be a legit ad server, but can be redirected to by malware. I think. I'd download Malwarebytes and see if it finds anything. If not, maybe install an adblocker for your browser and block the domain.

Thanks Kiah, I'll give that a whirl.
