Malwarebytes Premium (with real time web detection) is not alerting. Neither does WOT (Web of Trust) indicate any issues.

Could be false-positive. Norton Internet Security not detecting anything. However, this site does attract tracking cookies -- I notified the site admin awhile back.

That's exactly what what I'm getting
Could be a false positive but I don't know enough about the threats to feel confident ignoring it.

the .js indicates that it is sing JavaScript - which you can disable in your browser - however, there are tons of sites that use JavaScript for legitimate purposes or change it to prompt level - or you can change your default security level then add individual sites to the trusted list.

Enable or Disable JavaScript in Internet Explorer 11

Well, I have been surfing around here for about 45 min tonight and no threat warnings.

Whatever the issue was, it seems to be gone now

Update everything. Java, Flash etc...... Then delete your temporary files.

Every time this comes up, and it has many times, it's the users computer.

Ask me how I know?

And if you're using IE, dump it. Try Firefox or Chrome. Since switching to Firefox, I haven't had any problems. Not one. Can't say the same about IE.

Everything is up to date & I am using Firefox. It did it for two day but today it's gone. It's not because of my computer.
