Yes, I know it happened about a year ago. It got me twice. That time the repair guy showed me the connection to this site(via something to do with ads) and in an effort to help I phoned you to report it. If I remember correctly there was a mini uproar not too long back, a few threads were started on the subject I think, and it was around then that I also had trouble.
I just got this message from Avast tonight when I logged on:

About AVAST Software
In the late 1980s, Czech computer technology innovators Eduard Kucera and Pavel Baudis developed a program they called “anti-virus advanced set” (AVAST). Later, they realized the serendipity of ‘avast’ being also an English-language nautical term meaning “stop!” – as they would eventually develop their vision into one of the world’s top-ranked antivirus softwares.
Just like in the beginning, we still believe that all internet users need and deserve antivirus protection – one that is dependable, fast, reasonably sized, and unobtrusive… one that scans and updates automatically, and gives only an occasional reminder that it works. As a result, our avast! Free Antivirus is a full-featured product that routinely outperforms many of our competitors’ paid products.

Compared to in the past, when email was the key method for spreading viruses, our Virus Lab research shows that more than 80% of malware now spreads via the internet. More notably, only 1% comes from suspicious or ‘dodgy’ sites – the rest spreads via legitimate websites that have been hacked.
Yes, that was close, but relax...
avast! Free Antivirus is the minimum protection anyone should have against viruses and spyware. If you spend a lot of time online, however, you are naturally exposing yourself to greater threat. Fortunately, you can increase your security by adding more defensive layers.
same thing here....just now
I spent a 1/2hr searching and this is not harmful. :smt001
