Caught the hack in action.

Below is a screen shot of the kind of hack we've seen while just sitting on a web page.

It happens when the page refreshes the page to load ads.

I was on a http://finance.yahoo.com page when it happened.

You'll see there appears to be a small window that looks like you could click the 'x' and get out, DON'T CLICK THE 'x' on the little window.

Use the Task Manager or press either Crtl+F4 or Alt+F4 to close the browser, in this case it's Firefox.

It's not a true window, it's an image on the page to make it look like one.

This screen shot below does not link to anything.

Is it trying to gain access to your servers or put a web tracking whatever to watch where you go?
