Since yesterday I have been getting this popup asking me "do you want to open or save load.js from loadm.exelator.com?"  I of course click cancel and exit out.  I have Spybot and windows defender and ran full scans of both and come up clean.  This popup has appeared now 4 times in the last 15 hours and I am worried that something is embedded even though my programs cannot find anything.  I have Windows 8.  Can someone please help?

    I have the have/had the same pop-up too. Started early yesterday and pops-up intermittently.  I ran a full scan with Kaspersky and Malwarebytes. Both scans indicated no problems. I checked cookie enabling in Internet Options (I'm using IE10) and disallowed third-party cookies. So far so good.  It has not reappeared.......so far

    I got this as soon as I installed Paltalk. Doesn't pop up as long as I'm not using it. Went away permanently when I uninstalled.

    I had the pop-up to "download / save/ run / cancel" once while playing PCH games.  I forced "end now" on all IE tabs after doing a search on original IE tab on my home site.  I cleaned out temporary internet files and web sites.  Rebooted, ran full Microsoft Security Essentials scan with no "bad things" detected or quarantined, and have not had pop up since.

    I have Windows 7 (64-bit), IE10, Java SE Environment Runtime add on enabled.

    I also have Windows Firewall and Webroot for viruses, malware, spyware, etc.

    I have Windows Security Essentials real time protection turned off.

    Aloha !

    We have it too.

    The ONLY time it shows up is when I am playing Internet Spades.

    Windows XP, SP3, IE 8, Java NOT installed.

    After a game concludes and you get tossed into a new game, that is when the pop up occurs I have the strong suspicion it is one of their glorious advertisers that has planted a malicious line in their ad from Zone games or whatever feeds the advertisements from Internet Spades.

    I have a screen shot.  Again.  Internet Spades is the ONLY window i have running and the computer was rebooted about 5 minutes earlier. Our computers run Windows Steady State and have been completely clean for 4 years now. They reset to a clean state so i know there is nothing already on the computers.

    Anyone else seeing this while playing the zone games ?

    I think I got rid of it. 

    I ran my IObit malware fighter and then  CCCleaner.  Restarted my computer and it did not come back when I did this.

    Hopefully it will stay away too.
