ad pop up to a malware attempt

[oct-bump]

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I was browsing in the toddler section, then opened a post. As the ads loaded, the page changed to a malware attack attempt:

myavhyper.com

I didn't click on anything and performed the correct steps in "End Task"ing my IE window, but I just wanted to let you know that one of the ads is probably hacked or something like that.

Here's a screen shot of my IE window.

(on a side note, I'm in the IT field. I'm 100% sure it wasn't my computer, but I'm running a virus scan to be on the safe side.)

My virus scan finished. Nothing was found on my computer, so it definitely wasn't caused by a setting on my end.

This is why I use adblock. I know sites make money off the ads, but I'd rather a private paypal donation link... I won't risk my stuff by having those types of ads pop up.
