Default A Popup about Privacy on this website

When I went into the board this morning, there was a popup that says "Internet Brands owns this website" , and it asked that you read the privacy policy Now or Later. It showed up a couple of times. I clicked on "later", but after that wondered if it was a virus in disguise. Did it show up for anyone else? Is it a legitimate popup?
Thanks,

PS: now on top of the page it says "the website declines to show this webpage"
Something is not right. I think I just had an uninvited guest.

I also did not get this pop up. On my computer I have it set to not allow pop ups. There is an exception if I so choose to open one but it won't just automatically let it happen. It sounds similar to the pop up that says you have a virus on your computer and you really have to work at it to not get going.

I've logged on, on 3 different computers and had the privacy notice on all 3, they do own the board, and I often get the "decline to show web page" on this one computer. I think all it doesn't show is somw of the ads at the top.

This one was legitimate, and pop-up blockers don't seem to block it. Here's Patrice's explanation at bottom of this thread - http://www.quiltingboard.com/qb-help...c-t191612.html

I just went through all sorts of problems with my computer that started right after visiting one of the web sites provided by Rev Pam. I think from now on I'm going to stay away from all of them.

Default Weird message comes up when I first come to QB each day

Internet Brands, Inc. owns and operates this website. On June 12, 2012 we updated our Privacy Policy; please read it now or later.

Is this actually part of QB or has some strange bug gotten attached somehow?
