I keep getting a pop up wanting me to download a file I never asked for

[cynatnite]

This is what it says and I have no clue where it came from. I use the Avant browswer.

Pinkmonkey.com
Jscript File
Phpadsnew728.js

Does anyone know if this is come kind of virus or something? Suggestions on keeping it from coming back would be great, too.


Thanks!

1. well

It looks like a javascript file for an ad

Phpadsnew728.js = php ads new?

pinkmonkey.com is a school paper mill website.

2. Avant Browser

is just IE with more bells and whistles. You would be much better off using a different browser like FireFox(Free) or the Opera Browser (Not Free)You will not have to worry about garbage like that again.

6. The Opera browser has a free version that will prevent stuff like

that from happening. I've used it for almost three years and really like it . . . so much so that I paid for it just a few days after downloading it and seeing how sophisticated and useful it was.
