Been using this site for years but I have noticed that everytime I open the homepage my Mac downloads 2 odd files automatically. Doesn't happen on my PC.
Files are named m8MuJEEuDjY-78 and only ever 6kb in size.
Anyone shed any light??

I get the same on Android. I ignore it. Not analysed the file yet but I don't like it.

Still not sure what the files are but it you do a 'Get Info' from finder and read down to the 'Where from:' entry they appear to be
YouTube links to news items featured on the RS246 home page. For example m8MuJEEuDjY (which I now have about 40 iterations of) contains a link to the 'Tear Drop – The Audi RS 7 performance' item. But what the rest of the 6k of data is I have no idea. I suspect the site may be built for Windows Internet Explorer and is not 100% compliant with some other browsers.
