Why is the site forcing my computer to download shit!

[ogfeez]

It's some blank document that won't open but my download window pops up on my mac using safari. the files increment in the file name too.
desktop_1_1desktop_2_1desktop_3_1.... etc.
what are these files?Why is this being done?
it happens when i first enter the site and every couple pages i go through

are you holding the option (alt) key by any chance?

i think you are

 

[ogfeez]

not a chance, sorry

 

[ogfeez]

but the button could be stuck as I just thought about that, i'll look into it further

 

[hartig]

well.. what i meant was if you hold down the option key and click on a link, it'll download the link..

[Official_Recap]

same thing happening here. what is the deal with this?

Complaining about it doesn't help the problem.

When this happens, post the URL that's causing it to happen, what web browser you're using, and whether or not you have an ad blocker installed.

here you go:
URL: www.newschoolers.com (wow, thanks! Already stated when it happens in original post.)
web browser: Safari (said Mac, but i guess i coulda been running Mozilla but figured ppl would just assume safari)
blockers...... none

here's the link the folder is coming from: http://ads.traffiq.com/adserver/Impression/tcount=1/pid=4344/oid=1545/sgn=0012519049281433309029/txn7427d28d-1e99-4bde-a575-61ac9af6220c
I'm using the most up to date version of safari with the built in pop up blocker enabled
do something about this soon please, its annoying to delete 30 empty folders called desktop-any number 1-oo
