What is the file?

[Lord Braykewynde]

While on this site my I.E. stops a file downloading and the usual bar is displayed asking me what do I want to do.
Does anyone know what file this is?

The website shouldn't be attempting to load files onto your computer Lord B, I'll try to find out

No LB - does it say what the file name is or anything?

I've just had the same thing. It appears to be an IP address logging program, one site I found says it is associated with Google! I run 'Peer Block' and had it turned off and forgot to turn it back on, as soon as I hit Peer Block it stopped it as a known problem

Doesn't come on using Opera, as soon as I used IE I got the download box asking if I wanted to download the prog.

ps. what I got was a prog download from ib.adnxs.com, I rejected it!

I haven't a clue what the file is. I.E. bar comes up saying it's stopped this file, click the bar for what to do. Then asks 'do I want to download the file', 'ignore' or 'whats the risk'.
I just cancel incase it automatically installs whatever it is on my computer.
So far it hasn't happened today although it did a few times yesterday.

Thank you Lord B, If I'd been running my Peerblock prog at the time yesterday I wouldn't have had the problem..
