@Sig HoovestrongThe issue has been reported by another member who also uses avast. Currently it appears that Google AdSense is serving the occasional bad ad. Feld0, the site owner, is discussing the matter with Google as we don't have direct control over what ads it serves. While we block them as we find them - as does Google, this may happen from time to time. And yes some bad ads do serve HTML:Script-inf. 

 

I am not and will not recommend turning off your virus protection. Did you by any chance get a VirusTotal report?

Well first of all am not sure, where i do find a VirusTotal Report. All i can say is Avast told me after blocking the sit. And it was things listed abow you. However i beat i can get ones again just by turning on my anti-varius again try entering the sit. I beat the same thing will poop up again.

You you try making chrome.exe an exception in Avast?

Well,I don't know why avast blocks some pages in the forums for no reason,the antivirus program showed me that the link was a virus..

I believe that I know what happens.

This happened to me a few days ago,and the info that it gave me about the virus was the following:

The best you can do right now is add MLPForums to the Exceptions manually to avoid further problems,but without turning off the antivirus.

I just had Avast pop up and warn me about some viruses on the site. Using Chrome as well. I didn't get the log because I panicked a bit. But it did mention "mentolission.com" or something along those lines if that's any help.

@Sig Hoovestrong, , and  can you verify if the messages from Avast have ceased?

[BasementSporkle 20,358]

@Sig Hoovestrong, , and  can you verify if the messages from Avast have ceased?

Yeah, I haven't had a message since I reported the last one. It's been completely clear.

Well at this far it seems, like the problems is gone. I headent head problem with Avast blocking in while.

Ok, Lavo was able to locate and address the issues with HTML:Script-inf. messages related to Avast and a dispute has been filed with Norton which led MLP Forums being cleared. This is resolved at this time. Thanks everyone!
