Virus threat from ballreviews.com
« on: May 26, 2012, 07:20:45 PM »
AT 8:15 PM Eastern time, I did a refresh on my unread posts and got a warning from AVG that this was detected: "Exploit JavaScript Obfuscation type (156) was intercepted". I did not see if this was a virus; it just said it was a threat.

A couple of internet searches showed it can caused by an advertisement.
