Black Box in lower right corner

Excellent job, thanks! We'll look into it!

OK

Yup. That is exactly what is going on with mine. Then I have to close restart my computer. I hate computers.

It used to just play something and disapear. But now it is really getting annoying, since it locks up my computer.

Nifty said he would look into it so that is good. I am sure we will hear back from him when he finds out what is going on.

Are you on Internet Explorer? That is what I am on. I tried Chrome but it ran way to slow.

Thank You Nifty for looking into this. I know how busy you must be. I fear it may be a problem with my browser or computer in general. I am going to check on the blocks I have on my computer to see if everything is in place.

Yes, I use internet explorer. I would use Google Chrome, but that system has a problem with locking up. My dad is a computer whiz, so I am gonna have him look into this for me. Stupid Google Chrome and Internet Explorer...

P.S Thanks, Nifty, for looking into this. Really, thanks.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I am using Linux, and I have never had a black box pop up on my screen. I also use Chrome, and I have a good popup blocker.

Yup, we're looking into it, so thanks for your patience! We're not seeing very many cases of it being reported (just you two so far) so it makes it really hard to duplicate and track down.

Knowing which browser and version you're on. We often suggest that people try different browsers to help determine if the problem is browser specific or due to some plugins they have installed in their other browser.

We haven't been able to track this down.

This "black box" is serving outside of the ad unit. From the screenshot, it looks like it's serving with text underneath; that could provide a vital clue as to who is running this shenanigan. We definitely want to track this down and delete it.

We'd love to get any additional info would help us create more specific blocks....the URL of the page where you land if you click on it, product or company being advertised in the video/on the landing page (if either ever loads.)

So, basically we need to know more info about the company advertising so we can try to find it and block it. If you see it again, please keep track of all the info and if you click the ad and it loads a page, grab the URL and send me a private message with all the info.

Thanks!
