    While looking in the Internet Movie Database, a large message filled the screen reading THE END IN NEAR. It stayed for a few moments, then faded. At first I wondered if it was a movie promo, then thought maybe it was a virus. Is it a virus?

    I have Windows xp pro with service pack 2, a pentium 4, 2.53 GHz, 512 MBM RAM, I run Norton Antivirus (whcich says it's up to date), AAdware and SpyBot, which I update and run monthly.My Internet Explorer is 6.0.2900.

    I would say that is a form of popup/flash type ad helping to promote the movie Chicken Little. I have all that stuff blocked so I didn't see it. If you read the description of the movie "The end is near" is the first few words.
