Default Your Add's

ok not to raise alarms or nothing but i believe one of your ad's your using might be dangerous, every time i change any page on anime planet (since today, 02 November) my anti virus (avast) warns me it has blocked dangerous content it considers to be malware, now due to having so many tabs open this could been from any site, but long story short i was able to narrow it down to anime planet due to firstly i tried it in clean one tab windows, secondly it only happens when i click any link (or refresh) a page in anime planet, and finally i also got this problem with a friends computer using a alternate anti virus.
The source of the threat according to me checking is in some .gif embedded in to a advertisement being used on the site (i think), simply any basic anti virus should have no problem finding it and blocking it form accessing ones computer but i figured it might be useful to let you know.




It could be a false positive but i tried 2 different anti virus both found it dangerous, either way i recommend if it is a false, making people aware.

I have ESET installed and no warnings on AP at all. Anyway I recommend you COMODO (free but better) because AVAST is really BAD.

based on googling the name of the gif, that's a part of the AddThis plugin, which is a perfectly legitimate plugin that thousands of sites have (including huge corporate sites). i'm guessing your antivirus is being way too sensitive or something.

i too have a pretty strong antivirus program on (due to work) and i never get a single warning

Well i found the same problem occurs with AVG aswell. (i do use comodo on side but firewall only).
Anyways its probably nothing just thought it might be worth mentioning, im aware there isn't any problems (non that my system couldn't beat down) but figured it might be worth bringing up.
