Could this annoying/intrusive McDonald's ad be a virus??

See [this</a> post](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/14886765-post1.html][b]this”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/14886765-post1.html) from moderator MaineLonghorn regarding the McDonalds pop-up ad.

It’s my understanding that this is one of the malware issues . . . and not an attempt by CC to increase advertising revenues!
