bad ad pretending it's a flash player update

[Flapdrol1337]

Been getting this one a bunch of times over the past few weeks. Anyone else seen it?

I haven't seen it here but have seen the same Fake Adobe Flash update on other sites. It's easy to get fooled by it since it looks just like the real page.

Mine even automatically downloaded the Flash setup.exe file without even clicking on it.
(this was the first sign that something was wrong)

At the time it happened, were you using the main anandtech.com site or the forums.anandtech.com ?

forums, and I still keep getting it.
