I was surfing a string of TGPs researching the teen niche to see what's hot in promotions and I came across a pretty DISGUSTING infant CP toplist (yes, was reported to asacp immediately) and since then every page I visited had "Applet `DarkBox Initited" spelled exactly that way in the bottom left corner of my firefox browser and every 3rd or 4th gallery or site started redirecting to that damn toplist. My browser then crashed and locked up. I ctrl-alt-del'ed it and deleted the process. It was using 94 MB of ram. Strange. Anyways... I reloaded the browser, continued my surfing and the damn toplist kept popping again. So I cleared the entire cache and it stopped. the applet statement is gone and no more toplist. Thank god.

Anyone have any insight into what that applet is? Should I be worried?
