    suddenly my browser keeps giving me a warning on every dp page load that it has blocked this site from trying to download files to my computer

    only on dp

    anyone else?

    Not happened to me and I don't see why any files would need to be downloaded.

    Does it tell you what it thinks was being downloaded?

    no it doesn't, and if it is some kind of activex etc trying to download into the browser rather than harddrive, it will download before i can stop it, so I don't click it. I don't know how to see what it is without actually downloading.

    There is definitely nothing ActiveX being used on this site unless it's part of an AdSense ad. {shrug}

    The offending hotlinked image has been removed... looked okay to me, but rather not users get that message.

    It can happen once in awhile if someone shows an image that is hosted on what Google deems a malicious domain. If you look at the screenshot above and read the message, you can see it's ali7.com that Google doesn't like... and the issue was someone was displaying an image hosted on that domain.
