It's freaking me out, because I cannot see the video, I can only hear it. I have no idea what it is, or what it's coming from, although it seems to be some zombie movie. And I never clicked anything like that. It's just playing some video that I cannot see at all.

    Might be an ad in a different tab.

    No, it's not. It's rather long (about 10 minutes), repeats automatically, and I have AdBlock totally on.

    They call me Rate Miser, whatever I see... turns overrated in my eyes...
    Could it be an ad that's immune to AdBlock? Like a new kind of ad they're throwing at us now?

    Go into your task manager and check what's running?

    D'oh. I should do that.

    Wait, what's the Mac version of Task Manager?

    I know of viruses that do this. Including one that was in my old laptop. You should run a scan to make sure.

    Alright, I figured it out.

    Sometimes, when I close Opera it closes immediately but takes a while to quit. Apparently the webpage I was on had a rollover ad that, for some inane reason, decided to trigger only after I had closed the window.

    I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    The Opera doesn't finish till the roll over ad plays.

    The window closed, but the program did not exit. You'd think I would've caught that.
