Return of intrusive pop ups

Hey, SeriousEats Team.

I just wanted to notify you of a very annoying pop up I got while browsing the Talk section of the site (more specifically the recent Food Shopping Road Trip topic).

Screencap is here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/fuuchan/malware_cap.jpg

If that weren't annoying enough, even alt+f4ing out of it immediately prompts another popup that resembles the windows desktop and makes it look like its running a scan. If that weren't scary enough, trying to get out of that will prompt yet ANOTHER pop up that tries to get you to click OK once again to run a "free scan".

So yes. 3x the intrusiveness.

I'm running a scan now on my computer to make sure that very persistent ad didn't plant anything in my comp, but I just wanted to let the staff know that there's stuff like that lurking on the site.
