Every time I go on the website my anti-virus system has recently been blocking a certain ad to the side of the page because it has a virus... I am just sharing because i want to make sure no one's else's computers are being affected...
 
This is the reason why I always use AdBlockPlus, even if it kinda hurts the site owners (sorry Jordan). Google Ads etc. are just way too unsafe.

If you want to get rid of this risk without "harming" Jordan, you should go Premium.

Antivirus apps don't detect viruses, they detect suspicious files.
Maybe the app doesn't know it.
Ads go via Google, google checks them.
There is no virus, don't worry.
 
I dont care about my computer because its blocked, i was just wondering because i wanted the website to know so they could remove/fix the problem :)
 
Is there any other information about the ad that you could share? Do you have any specific image, link, or warning message from your antivirus program?
 
A small popup comes to the top of the page that says "We tested this page and blocked content that comes from potentially dangerous or suspicious sites. Allow this content only if you're sure it comes from safe sites." And then if i want i can unblock it.

There is an ad at the top that is blocked out and it wont let me copy the whole address but it starts with bidder.mathtag.com (also within the very large address it says googleadservices.com.... so obviously it could be unharmful but i rather not unblock it just in case. I don't know if you pick the ads for the website personally or if google does it itself and only i have it though so i don't know what else to say...
