Site downloads files to browser?

Post Reply New Topic

Is it just me? Lately on this site - I think somewhere in the forums, my browser starts automatically downloading a file called "imp" - what is this about? This is a bug of some sort, no?

I've never seen that happen here.
Is it possible you could link to a specific forum, thread or post where this has occurred?

I haven't been able to correlate it to a specific page - I suspect maybe its coming from an ad on the site - frm my Browser it looks like this is the link to the file:

http://imp.fetchback.com/serve/fb/imp?a ... pe=widesky

Hmm. I've been blocking all flash content and all ads. on all sites - aside from a selected few - for longer than I care to remember.

Going by the URL I'd guess it's a tracking cookie, containing some sort of profiled nonsense to 'aid better targeted advertising' garbage and suggest that, at least, you block fetchback.com and chango.com.
