 3rd party script on forum
Lately when accessing the forum from a Windows machine, I get a pop-up message from the anti-virus (Avast) saying that it blocked advertising-cdn.com (a third party script, I presume). So trying to see if it was a false positive, I went to Norton's Safe Web page and entered advertising-cdn.com, and it gets a big fat red "X." I think you need to switch to something else. Attachment:

 Re: 3rd party script on forum
Is anyone else getting warnings when visiting the forum?
I don't understand why the popup says process is palemoon.exe Isn't that a browser?

 Re: 3rd party script on forum
Palemoon is a browser. I use it at times on Linux and have never had issues. But I don't use it for the forum. I would suggest he try Opera or one of the other browsers and he should be much happier.

 Re: 3rd party script on forum
I will try with another browser and see what happens. However, the Norton rating (the first post) of the advertising website in question is a (mostly) separate issue from the AV pop-up and should be enough to switch to another advert company.
I think the reason why the AV pop-up says Pale Moon is for the fact that the advertising script is being processed by the browser (obviously).

Hi All, this was indeed a Javascript infection in the header of the forum, it has now been cleared. Please check and let me know if you still get the message, Thanks! Costas
