What's with the forums forcing pop-ups for a download file?

Both IE and Safari are trying to force a xd_proxy.php from static.ak.fbcdn.net.

Edit: This is the first time this has happened, and it's only coming from PWI forums.

    Which ad, and which exact page (give link please) is causing the problem?

    Can you post a screenshot?

    Well, it's gone. So I can't SS it now.

    Safari was showing the file as pwi_AllFile.v37 in the download que (coming from the source indicated in first post). IE was just blocking it before it could download and I wasn't about to clicky it to see what it was.

    Edit: As per your question about which page, it was all of them on the forums.

    So THAT'S what it is... I saw it on my laptop for a few days. Too lazy to get firefox so I can avoid the damned top bar on my laptop so I deal with it there. However, even on my desktop it surpasses every single site I frequently visit (pictured above). I should try inspecting one of those files.

    I manually scanned it with avast after posting the thread and it seemed to have just poofed after I did. Though there was no warning from avast that it was anything dangerous.
