| Not trying to be an alarmist, but some weird piece of malware popped up on my computer when I was browsing this forum and nothing else. It came out of nowhere, minimized my browser window, and tried to install crap on my computer, but AVG caught it and deleted it. I don't know if anything like that can pop out from a website but figured I'd mention it... | |

I have not had any problems, but if it happens again or to anyone else please post here in this thread. I will then look into it with the owners. You did not accidently click on the ad above did you? |

| I might have, but I'm not certain! I was reading something on the page and all of a sudden the whole window just minimized! So weird. Seems fine though my antivirus killed it....I hope. | |

| I scanned with HouseCall from that trendmicro site, that's usually pretty good and didn't find anything, I'll keep my fingers crossed...LOL
I got the 74 Impala in Raymond, Maine, but it was only there for a very short time and was originally from the Springfield MA area, where it was sold new. The last owners lived in Ware I think.
I do remember seeing a 74 Impala like mine for sale in Seekonk a long time ago (maybe 2004ish?) on some collector car trader classified site. I had my green '74 at the time and was going to go look at that one but never did... | |
