I'ma take note that in the screenshot with the anti-virus going berserk, the ad is never loaded.

Plus, the linked thread has something along the lines of "An advertisement is doing it".

Also, that blocked gif you had up there, skrab? That's one of Py's dragon eggs that was blocked. Dunno why that one would combust.

Short news: Check for any malicious ads, Ralle.

I've got the same problem (the virus warning) when I open hiveworkshop without adblock plus :fp: so the virus script must be somewhere in the ads

i'm a member of the Hive since a couples of months and its only in the last 2 weeks or 3, that this virus alert have shown... and i repeat.. it only does it when i'm on the hive..so i could simply, low my virus dectection but!... still!... i don't get it!, why it's something new! that cause the virus warning..

This is what Avira Antivirus has to say on the matter (taken off their website): HTML/Crypted.Gen - Malware.
Description:
To avoid detection by antivirus software, authors of HTML malware use browser features like Java and VisualBasic Script. These scripts are small and very often quite simple encryption routines hiding the malicious parts of the script. Encrypted malware is detected as HTML/Crypted.Gen.

Hope this helps answer some questions. If not that's what it is. Click here for the link to Avira's website. Also here is a helpful forum I found on the matter. !HERE!

*Done editing, Hope that last forum helps you, it looks like the problem might be Firefox, have you tried a new browser?
