Why a download from viraladnetwork on loading blog?

    For the past two days, when loading my WP blog afresh, a small document titled “syndication1.viraladnetwork.net” is downloaded to my downloads folder. It only amounts to 4k and I have not tried to open it. Is it suspicious? (I’ve dragged each of them into my trash and deleted from there.)

    I’m using firefox on an iMac. All advice welcome.

    Hi there,

    It looks like the file that is being downloaded is related to one of our advertising partners, and the download may be due to the version of Firefox that you are running.

    Can you try updating to the latest version of Firefox and see if this continues to happen? You can go here to download the latest version: http://browsehappy.com/
