[RESOLVED] Popup Ads Virus?

FYI. I've recieved this trojan warning twice within a minute or so while browsing VBF. It may be a false warning or it may be legit. Thought you'd like to know. In the screen shot, the "Object" line may be useful.

Edited: I didn't save the 1st warning as I thought it might be a false positive. But twice while jumping between pages? Thought worthwhile to bring to the admins' attention. Been browsing for the past 30+ minutes now & no additional warnings yet.

Hmmm. Got a few more. Same exact warnings as below. Avast version & definitions up-to-date, most recent defs dated: today @ 3:06:49 AM. I exited IE8 completely, came back to VBF and as soon as page loaded, virus warning again. Note that the warning does not appear for every single VBF page navigated to.

Either my defs are triggering false positives or you guys/gals got a problem. Ball is in your court.
