Is anyone else getting a security warning popup every time they click on a link on CF? It just started for me today.

Mine keeps asking if I want to install something today. Only on CF. No other websites are doing it.

I havent got it in awhile, but I get it when I go to HN all the time. Probably what I deserve for going to HN though....

Ya, that's what it's doing on mine too. It's really annoying, won't allow me to view a page until the popup appears.

We are doing some research on this. What browser are you guys using?

Home browser - Firefox - not getting install request

Work browser - Explorer 8 - getting Adobe Flash install request however when declining I get sent to a page saying that I was sent there because a program was trying to install and looked dangerous. I can not get on CF at all there.

Sounds like the proverbial Chinese fire drill. Adobe does update Flash quite often.

I use to get it on my PC all the time at home..I use IE/Vista and at work IE/XP?. But I get it daily now on my Droid...either way bothersome.

Every time I try to open CF on my Droid I get the following security warning:

Security warning; There are problems with security/certificate for this site. This certificate is not from a trusted authority.

I don't get a security warning opening CF on my PC.

I've been getting that warning on my Droid also.

Use Google Chrome and NotScripts. Fixes all of your problems.
