I just started getting this message when I tried to post a reply.

I have no idea what this means, I dont know this server or name.
I'm not using adelphia.:confused:

Is this some kind of virus or just a quirk of the site?

Try logging out of all areas of the site, then logging back in to the forums. Also, did it start after you did something you normally do not do, or have not done before?

Do you have anti-virus and firewalls running?

A quick internet search didn't turn up anything odd related to adelphia.net, but if something is popping up that doesn't make sense, a good scan of your system is in order.

I'm ALWAYS doing something that I don't normally do.:lol:

I often find that I'm multi-tasking and have at least 6 windows open at any given time.

I did close all windows. I ran CCleaner to remove all cookies, etc.

Logged back on and still get it, but now it seems to only happen here:http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=39636

I was going to post some witty/snide/humorous comment when this popped up and I lost my chain of thought.:hammer:


Monty..yes I have NortonAV and a firewall.:wave: Think I will have to run a scan though.:mad:

Definitely not the site, probably not a virus. It looks like you're trying to access content (video, picture, etc.) hosted on http://users.adelphia.net/~jfelts and it is asking you to authenticate. Is it happening in a specific thread?

EDIT: Just saw your post... and that's exactly it. Somebody must have posted something that requires you to authenticate. Scanning won't help. The person has to un-post it. Or we have to wait until it gets "burried" by other posts. It's not just you though... it's going to happen to everyone.

Yep, it'll happen to anybody who opens the page that post is on... You can forego that scan, unkadug, although it never hurts. :D

Otto's right! :brick:
