Downloading when viewing a topic?

Not quite as I would like it to be...Internet Explorer displays an information bar that it has denied permission from the website to download a file.It seems not normal...It is only on the forum. Not the site.

What file does it say?

Probably an add, please provide as much information as possible so that we can get it blocked.

forum don't have any ads....

Oh yes, they have.
See the pink box after the first post.

maybe it was a download file request from another tab?

got me ad blocker off, they not showing up.....

You are premium.

AHHH....makes since now.... ::)

Internet Explorer gives the information bar.When I click allow and go back, it doesn't say it again.EDIT: Reply to Seph:
Probably not an add. I haven't seen any add on my way around the net (8 years already) that wants to let you download something.

No other tabs do not put that in the open tab...Oh by the way my IE version is 7. Don't want to install updates to Windows to install a stupid browser. My net's already fucked up, thank you.

If you run an old IE version then don't EVER allow a download you don't expect, that's a sure-fire way to get a virus.

Actually IE isn't that much crap...It asks for permission before it activates it's functions on web-pages, what's pretty useful if you want a safe computer.
It will not auto-download files, what's also pretty safe.
