I'm getting a popup from it asking for a username and password every time a new page loads here. And yes, this is the only site that asks for it, so it's definitely a WP problem. Make it stop!

I noticed there's a Newsgator button at the bottom of the page... Did you touch it? I haven't gotten any pop-ups from them yet, so I'm guessing it has to do with a problem on your computer rather than this site, possibly coming from some sort of annoying adware.

Anything with the name "gator" on the internet is usually bad news

Nope. Didn't touch the button (or even see it) and like I said, it only happened here. Seems corrected now.
