Yeah I saw it too and it won’t let you close it. Drudge needs to wake up. His site is getting closer to becoming like Breitbart. Unusable.
Had the same issue today.
First time.
Running windows 8 with IE.
Not sure where it’s coming from.
If you use just about any Apple mobile device the flash ads are what I’ve found to be the culprit. They close all the windows down and then boot back up but they clear whatever you may have typed which is especially frustrating if you are doing a search in one window then flip over to another one to copy and paste into it.
