Yes, I did received the same warning from AVG when I tried to open a forum conversation.
Hello edz and Blesspips,
We’re currently investigating this issue first reported here. The virus issue isn’t so much an issue of the Calendar or Forums specifically, but with one of our 3rd party advertisers. We believe from our own investigation that one of them is sending us infected advertisements, which antivirus is detecting as invisible iframe infections. Iframes are used behind the scenes to display advertisements, and from what our data is showing, at least one of our advertisers is the root cause. This type of infection has been dubbed “malvertising” by some.
We’ve been working with our advertisers to identify the source, while also continuing to scan our own servers for any issues. Our own scans have always come up clean. We do apologize for this terrible situation. It’s obviously not something we want to happen, but the technology behind this malvertising makes it very hard to track to a particular source.
Thanks and let us know if you have any questions.
