FF:CC Crystal Bearer ad gave a virus alert

Avast found HTML:Script-inf in a few .js files that tried to load on going to the page. I figured it was probably a false positive but did a little Google searching to be sure and turned up these two threads.

The second also contains links to a couple pages indicating it is infected (here and here). Either way, I thought you guys might want to be aware.

Since this doesn't have anything to do with the forum, I'm moving it to a more appropriate subforum.

I would think this would be a pretty important "Alert the administrator of the website" dealie.

Good thing these are the forums that the "administrator of the website" checks the most, eh?

An "Ad"? OH! I remember those! Those were the colorful but annoying things circling the internet before the Ad Blocker Plus add-on came out!
Good times.
