I can also say Avast! is quite unhappy with the site right now. I hate to be critical but as far as legitimate sites go this is(by far) over the years the one that comes up with most malware/virus issues.

This is the only site/message board I am on that I ever have these issues as well.

I've got this reported to Sam but don't see anything on my end. It's literally been years since we've had any issues. My guess is that Avast picked up something it didn't like from one of our ad servers, not actually CF. I will report back.

UPDATE: Sam got this taken care of. Nothing major. He is going to do a VB upgrade later on tonight, while most of you all are asleep. Site might be down for a half hour or so in the middle of the night because of it.
