In the last hour my Avast free anti virus prog has begun reporting a threat each time I log into this site and every time I move from page to page within. Avast reports as follows:

URL : http://64.34.33.202/adserve/;ID

Infection : URL:MAL

It is offering to allow me to report this as a "false positive" and I will as soon as I am sure there is no threat.

In the mean time your comments would be welcome.

I am using F-Secure which highlights websites which are suspect, red box on search results. Just ran a search and all came back green, OK, so it could well be a false positive but thanks for the heads up anyway.

Cheers

@ziggar
it is obviously an incorrect url to an intended ad for this website

simply typing in the ip address of the url takes you to http://www.adbutler.com/ where you can draw your own conclusions

i will once again suggest that adblock plus is installed in all browsers to stop these crappy ads appearing

It appears to be whatever gizmo is used to sequence the "rotating" adverts.

see here and here
