I found one of the Wordpress plugins we used outputted a funny Javascript. It's now been removed and reported. Can you guys test again?

Not 100% sure that's the problem. I'll install Avast to test, but it's a big download. Will update in 10-15 minutes.

I just got it. I think it may be connected to one of the ads or something as I never get it at home where ad muncher is blocking everything (trying to figure out how to add hardware canucks to an allow list).

Finished installing Avast and I'm not getting anything on FF, Chrome, and IE9.

Our ad provider is Google's Doubleclick.

It seems like I only got the popup once, when first visiting the site at home and at work. Haven't seen anything since at work or home. Avast and Firefox on both PCs.

I only saw it once as well, and that was on a single PC from the same IP. None of the other PCs in the house saw it at all.

That's why I suspect it's a drive-by ad which is only up every now and then.

It doesn't look random to me. Seems it tries to pop up on your first visit and that's it.
