Just logged in afterwork and whilst on the forum the following file automatically downloaded, Your_taxes-08.16.rar. I didn't click on anything.

Deleted it, logged back into the site and its downloaded again :(

That's weird. I'll refresh the scan on the server but no one else reported it to me. Could it be some sort of plug in you have installed locally?
 
It's milward being spread by one of the adverts. If it happens again could you grab a screenprint with the advert included. I'll take it up with Google.
 
Hey, found this post by googling the term "your_taxes-08.16.rar" as it downloaded itself onto my computer too.
I was using chrome, on Youtube, only one advert showing, so that must have been the one that caused me to download malware. Unfortunately I clicked away before I could snap the advert, but I can describe it.
It was a pale blue advert, something to do with vehicles, and there were tones of red and white, if that helps at all.
It may have been this {admin removed}
Probably gonna delete my account now, hope this helps.

Thanks for the hint. I've removed the link for safety reasons.
