Could be false positive.
Could be an ad.
Could be content (pictures) hot-linked posted by another member and could be false positive.
Could be overly protective program or settings.

Not enough information provided. Need a link to a specific thread or page where the issue occurs. Need the exact error message displayed.

BTW, this does not mean CorvetteForum has a virus or anything like that.

Random Not on Specific threads. Some of the Banner Ads seem to be blocked by the Anti Virus

With the way anti-virus programs try to make sure the end-user feels they are being protected by giving off alarms and/or the trend with ads being no good, this is probably more normal.

CorvetteForum doesn't have a virus. My best guess is there is an ad or two the program doesn't like, the settings are restrictive, or perhaps there is a bad ad. If the latter, no other reports have been made and we'd need much more information to continue.

This is a reoccurring theme here.

No the Corvette Forum doesn't have a virus. Agreed.

But yes, Corvette Forum runs shitty and intrusive ad services.

Now I get an audible "low memory warning" and a redirect to Google Play when I visit pages with certain ads here. It's just the latest in a long trend of shitty ads.

This is really shitty. It's really lazy. And quit blaming it on the user or other causes. THIS **** ONLY HAPPENS HERE.

You might be able to explain this away to non-techies.... but us people who do this **** for a living know exactly what is going on... and that's a lack of giving a ****.

Nowhere did I blame it on the user, other than the possibility that a member posted a bad image from a bad source which can happen.

No, it doesn't "only happens here". CorvetteForum doesn't create those ads that you're speaking about. Those who are really in IT know, or any search online will show, this is a trend of "bad ads" and that it's a newer fight.
