Oh, damn...I was downloading stuff in the links from Holowan in the KOTOR region and got the same thing--almost like it was attached to some of the downloads at their sites. Triggered by the downloading, new tab. Don't know which one since I was downloading several at the same time, but it's somewhere in D333's intro pages. Happened on Aug 25th.

Will do. Thanks. Had no idea you were looking for it, I just assumed it was my computer and all the places I've been to. Now I know what to look out for.
