There's some ads on the trading pages that say something to the effect of "Get a degree in business computer science blahblahblah". When you attempt to move to a different page a pop up box with appear that says "Do you want to navigate away from this page?" This is more than an annoyance, this is almost always used by seedy ad providers to INSTALL MALICIOUS SOFTWARE on end user's PC.
I realize that this is purely accidental and Goozex probably uses a third party for their ads, but it is unacceptable and if you have any respect for your customers you will have the ad or ties with the ad service pulled immediately.
To any users who see this annoying pop up, DO NOT pres okay to close it, instead, disconnect your computer from the internet then close the window manually. If you have business on another tab then finish it up because there is no other way. I recommend a virus scan after that. If you don't see the pop up at all you should still be careful and not visit the site unless you are prepared to close your browser with ctrl+alt+delete.
Mods, please flag this.

And that's why you should be using firefox with ABP.

Not always possible, obviously.
Goozex is usually pretty good about removing these ads from the rotation of their provider.
