Default [OT] theories about why a web site is rejected by AV


I'm going with the one about a faulty ad being the culprit. I went to
the Hawaiian cooking site twice. The first time got no reaction from
my computer, but the second time... my computer started laboring like
crazy and my WARNING sign popped up.

If I didn't know dsi1 wouldn't post a virus on purpose and if I hadn't
already read ads can trigger this warning, I'd be more concerned.
Fortunately, I have Ad-Block Plus installed so if it's an ad, it won't
load... but I'd be concerned about the entire site if the warning had
popped up the first time I tried to view the link.
