[QUOTE="Flyerr, post: 1515629, member: 301970"] Thanks for the responses. Basically it was just a "check out this video!" type link, which took me to a page that showed a graphic like a video was loading (which I'm pretty sure was fake). A banner appeared on the top of firefox asking me to allow java to run either once or always on the site. Looked like this except for firefox instead of chrome: [IMG]http://wordpress.utoledo.edu/learningventures/files/2012/04/XP_Chrome.png[/IMG] I clicked run once and almost right after I thought what am I doing? and closed the page right away. I never entered a password or seemed to download anything besides allowing the .jar file to run. [/QUOTE]
