Why do I sometimes get a UKnetguide log in screen when using Answerbank.

[pauln90]

Several times today when I have clicked on a topic in Answerbank ,usually Technology, a log in screen appears for UKnetguide. I have done the usual security checks which have found nothing amiss. Anybody got an explanation for this anomally.

Cheers in advance

i had the same early on

[ummmm]

I was getting it all morning and I had to click it three times for it to go. My Kasperky picked it up and got rid of it.

The advertisement at the top of the page was being updated by the servers in question. They had an issue with there servers resulting in the need to log in; in order to view the banner at the top of the page.

[ummmm]

Yeah...it looked like I had a 'page cannot be displayed' up there.

[dizmouk2009]

If you had noticed the page you were trying to access was an 'ads' site which was infact the same advertisement site that AB is currently affiliated to.

[dizmouk2009]

I wouldn't know, I've never tried a lookup.

[ummmm]

I thought that lil...that's why I wasn't too worried.

The AnswerBank operate quite separately from UKNetguide - it appears there are some problems with the ad delivery their end.

I apologise for this inconvenience.

Thanks for clearing that UKnetguide thingy everyone. Silly suspicious me thought UKnetguide was trying to hack into my computer by asking me to enter a password.

AB Ed that's what I said but no one listens to me :)
