You probably have some spyware on your computer. I would run a check with a program, such as Ad-Aware.

I've never had such a warning with Firefox. I don't think this site has those ads, you may have gotten a virus while browsing another site using Internet Explorer...it has many vulnerabilities.

If anyone else continues to have this problem...feel free to PM any of the staff members.

All ads run on this site are provided by Google, we have no control on what ads are displayed, If you have an issue i advise you to contact them. The spy ware search NSN711 suggested sounds like a good idea to me.

No other users have this problem, it is not the site causing it.

Maybe it wasn't a very good scan.

Why'd you go and pay that much money? There are many free programs.

That's definitely a sort of malware.

When I have trouble with malware that my computer cannot sort out, I head to Digital Trends.
They have quite a large help base, and some very smart people working for them.

Head to their forums and see what you can find.
Other than that, there's not much more we can do as it is not Halomods that is the problem.

Oh man, I just read the error messages. That is picking up google ads as wanting your credit card number or something, which they are not doing. The problem is the spyware program you have, it's falsely flagging ads as bad when they aren't. There's nothing wrong with the site or the computer, it's a flaw in the way the anti-spyware program works.
