Using Firefox 3.6.3, when viewing a game I get a popup asking me to install "Analytics1" from publisher "UNKNOWN", with the url http://webanalysis-statistics.com.
The certificate for the software seems to be issued by the same people who made the software, so it's somewhat useless. Pressing cancel or x causes it to pop up again, incrementing the number after "analytics" by 1, apparently indefinitely. This is appearing, at least, on http://armorgames.com/play/10317/gemcraft-labyrinth across several refreshes- but as of writing it is gone.
I'm guessing it's a rogue advertisement being cycled in- this should probably be addressed very quickly. The website mentioned in the popup is active but blank- a strong sign that things are not on the up-and-up.
I haven't seen it, maybe it's a program-specific ad. Either way, I must give some obvious advice: do NOT click on anything without knowing what it goes to, and if it can mess up your computer. Either way, thank you for spreading awareness, although it would have been more appropriate in the form of consulting a thread about such things(I apologize if you could not find one).

I was watching a video on YouTube and I clicked a link that came up and it took me to the Hentai section of Newgrounds. It was a walkthrough for Toss the Turtle. =(
