On every PB site I go to, it comes up with the same thing:
'THREAT HAS BEEN DETECTED!!! LEAVE THE SITE IMMEDIATELY!!"
This is what my software is reading as dangerous and harmful, classified as Malware: hxxp://54.201.66.36/l/z0WVjCBSEeGLoxIxOQVEwQ?or=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.proboards.com%2Fboard%2F44%2Fsupport-board
Is this a mistake my computer is making?

I keep getting this as well, but only on support not on any proboards forum, - I already ran several scans with my virus protector and Malwarebytes. It's appearing for both FF & Chrome - I haven't tried Safari though.

Dewers, Are you able to provide a screenshot of the message you receive? Also what is the name of the software that's reporting this to you?

I only have FF and Chrome, and my virus protection is freaking out, even though all scans come up negative. It even happened on my site (in my signature) where I am sure to keep any strange external links away from just in case. I'm worried this might be something that can hurt users so I just want to be sure that it isn't anything that can harm, or if it is a known issue. But it came up here on Support which I find very odd.

That IP - 54.201.66.36 - is registered to Amazon, I see.
Some sort of ad related issue perhaps?

Some sort of ad related issue perhaps? That is what I am thinking, and ad is carrying it, but on the one site I was on, there was no ad. Nothing appearing on the site itself, which is why it brought the question of what was wrong. I just don't want it to be harmful :'D it might just be a few people getting it, but I would hate for others to actually get a virus while on PB. BütchDanke! It is probably just a few, or an add like Moonbeam said.

Good news is we found the cause, and it's a false positive on Avast's part so there wasn't an actual virus attached to it. We're pushing out a fix for it now however so the message should go away in a few minutes
