I'm sure everyone knows that if you actually download and install the product from that site, you WILL be infected with malware.

Our server admin has checked and assured us the problem isn't on EcoModder, but with one of the advertisers whose ads appear on the site. We've been in touch with the advertisers. Waiting to hear back.
I think it happened to me because I had temporarily turned off my third-party pop-up blocker. I had not been to any other websites before this. That it came from the advertiser makes a lot sense.
