Malware alert on BITOG

[expat]

I keep getting an Alert from Avira on this site, it warns of HEUR/HTML Malware

You might want to e mail the owner of the site.

Yikes, I got an alert too but had several pages open. Didn't think it was this one.

Likely not the site itself , but something from one of the advertisements.

Did someone disable them? Not noticing the banner ad at the top of the page.

What usually happens is someone hacks the advertising server and serves up infected ads.

Can you send me the link that was alerted on?

Thanks,

Scanned with http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ nothing found. Going to flush the CDN cache, so all content is pulled fresh from our server.

I have not used my computer today yet (I am using a tablet right now) But the alert started when I opened the Aviation forum.

That is a heuristic detection from Avira. I use Avira as well and haven't received any alerts; try uploading the exact URL that you get an alert on to here (click the url link to scan urls):

The Alert seems to coincide with the pop up of the Pennzoil Ad

Castrol recently added Titanium to their formulation.
Pennzoil must have added Malware.
