Hey I keep getting this prompt from this site...you should really warn the users that its not real. I might even have accidently pressed the download thing since Im typing and it keeps poping up.

I've been having this problem for a few days now.
I find that if you consistently right click and then left click the Windows prompt that comes up (and it will do so often) then the more annoying ads don't come up.

If you have an ad blocker program you won't get it.
I have one here at home.
When I went on here yesterday at work , I got the pop-up prompt.
O well at least it's not on my comp.

I went to the main site on comingsoon.net and got a pop up ad for GAIN, a well know Spyware company. It tried to install there software on to my computer, but I was able to close the application before it could download.

Darkness, that is something completely different. Those popups give you the option of choosing "No". The problem we were having is that a company was running popups that was installing spyware automatically on people's computers.
