Twice in the past week or so I have been on SimHQ and it suddenly jumped to the page below and automatically downloaded a file called FlashPlayer.exe. I didn't run anything, so I am fairly confident my system is not infected, but it's happened twice on two different PCs, so I'm guessing there's an ad that got hijacked or something that tries to push this out.
