Hey, I just tried to download the Las Vegas ballpark from the "mediafire" site. I got a bunch of suspicious-looking pop-ups, and a weird, loud, disembodied voice saying my download was complete. Looks like I acquired some malware. A bunch of fake virus detection pop-ups, continuing to appear randomly on my computer screen, after closing the web site. I downloaded the stadium files, but could not move them to my OOTP ballpark folder, for some reason. This site seems to have been hacked, or at least compromised, and is not safe for downloads, if my experience is any indication. I am running full scans and struggling to remove the malware. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I am always willing to assume "user error"; but not this time.
