The JS/Obfuscated threat is activated by javascript in the Openx ad server. Most likely an AVG false positive as most other antivirus programs do not detect it.

I have Trend Micro and it is detecting a malicious virus everytime I change pages or look at a different discussion. I sent an email to Keith yesterday.

I took down the ads using the adserver that seemed to be triggering it. Is it still being triggered?

I don't know why this suddenly started....has there been mass renewal of AVG subscriptions, maybe its an issue with that software as FXEF mentions. Let dig into this...thanks for your patience.

I didn't have an AV issue but my Firefox browser would redirect me back to my home browser page within a few seconds when attempting to load this site. Disabling Javascript was the only way I would not get kicked off this site.
Everything is working okay now so you must have found the problem.
I do not have AVG.

There was no change by me or AVG that I am aware of prior to first experiencing the problem.

YES! Thank you for reporting it!

I have been unable to access the website at all. I uninstalled AVG.

It seemed odd as I had never had that happen before, had you?

Thank you kittycatmama!
