I was getting errors when opening threads on boards this morning that Avast advised were related to virus - JS:ScriptPE-inf [Trj]

The alerts do seemed to have stopped in the last few minutes.

Same here, it's alerting to a malicious site, ads.yieldmanager not to sure if it's an external site or boards where the infection is from.

I think it's even getting worse now, two or 3 warnings per page

I uninstalled Avast, I don't think it likes Windows Vista. I don't either.

looks like third party ads being flagged as viruses, but only by avast so most likely fast positive
