Getting it also, though not on any one page so I'm going to assume its in an ad. The filename is not always the same, but its good to know its the site and not my firefox.. still sucks its on my most frequented site though.
Found it odd below the British Airways ad I see a yellow bar with an "X", and right before I got the pop-up firefox was transferring data from image2.pub-which sadly thats all I remember. If thats the issue, I dont know.

I got a warning as well. I got a 'Java wants to run on this site' message and reluctantly hit 'run this time' (have been messing with blocking javascript on LA Times through the adblock plugin so wasn't sure if I broke Java on other sites by mistake).
Right after I hit the 'run this time' I had a notification from Malwarebytes telling me it blocked an attempt. The "Vendor" is listed as 'Rootkit.0Access.EPA' and the file name was 'F9QVCB.exe'.

this is why people don't like ads.
and no official comment in 11 hours? no offense, but come on, if this place can't be run adequately now (navigation/malware etc), what's going to happen when next gen really kicks off?Got YLOD? In the UK? I'll buy it off you.

Every single time I close out PSU and load it up, I get an AVG pop up saying it blocked some site from accessing my pc. The website it provides is always different.
