Dailysciencedose.com ?

Sometimes when I click on a thread (I am using Firefox) the tab at top of the screen tells me it's still loading for some time after I have read the thread , and the status bar at the bottom is telling me `waiting for dailysciencedose.com' ? ?
I have done a full scan with malwarebytes and found nothing , and I am running avast antivirus - again , nothing shows aftera full scan .
Anybody else get this ?
Or know whats going on ?

check the hosts file in c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc

That file should probably only have a single ref to localhost 127.0.0.0

Someone's avatar or sig probably loads from there, which doesn't work, given the site's down.

Thats seems to be the problem - I sussed that it always happens on threads posted on by `ninehigh' - clicked on adblock , and there was a blockable item from `dailysciencedose' .......... one click , and problem solved
