Some of the networks - Google, at least - can use keywords to match content, sometimes with humorous results. In other cases, they would be targeting by location, so that may also just be what's running for your area. We'll be doing the same with in-house ads, so you probably won't see anything we run for Columbus businesses unless you want me to add South Africa for that hometown flavor.

I open up a thread and ie attempts to open up adobe reader. I get Remote access attempt warning on ie, and a pop-up bubble from ESET Smart Security.

Checked the log info against what I could here and nothing appears amiss. With the ad network security and the iframes to corral the ads, it's most likely a coincidence that it's happening while on BP, but let's see if anyone else has seen anything similar.
Also, was it in the same or different threads? If it happens again, anything you see in the status bar, and a page source if you can grab one, would help with further checking.
