    Default avast finds "elenitski" malware on forum home page

    when i try to open the regular PAFOA forum index page the avast throws a red flag down and shuts off the page, citing elenitski malware. i can come in the back door by entering thru one of the sub-forums, but the home page is FUBAR.

    Are you using a free or paid version of Avast? ....I'm not getting anything with their free version.

    I've been getting the same thing with Malwarebytes Active Protection.

    Running Adblock?

    I'm Kaspersky and Firefox with Adblock and I see no warnings on the main page or the forum index page.

    Often these kinds of warnings are due to a Google Ad open somewhere and not the site itself.
    While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

    Ditto here.

    Avast free version, same warning.

    I found both triggers to be terrible to me so the triggers are on a scale to me.. The Glock was a crisper suck and the XD was a more mushy suck. They are in the same family, SR9 (heavy suck), Glock (crisp heavy suck), XD( lighter mushy suck), M&P(heavy mushy suck).

    Perhaps someone in .gov slipped a little code in to let them monitor posts for keywords that might suggest anti-American activities are going on here.

    Examples might be: "asshole" and "Obama" or "Second Amendment".

    Or is it...

    I sometimes get it on my laptop with paid version of AVG. It is from ads and not the PAFOA site.
