Secutiry Alert with Ads on Forum

gflcommish
Hi - I run a forum for a football league and just recently, whenever I load a page - any of them in my forum, I get a Trend Micro Office Scan alert telling me one of the embedded ads that generates in the post is malicious.  This is a real problem.  The ads are fine - the forum is free after all, but I can't continue using a forum that auto directs me to an ad site that is malicious in nature every time I open a page.

My forum URL is:  http://gladiator-football-league.1081619.n5.nabble.com/

The Ad URL Trend Micro doesn't like is: http://adbayes.com/LoadUnit.jtp?c=1

Trend Micro classifies it as:

Is it safe?
Dangerous
The latest tests indicate that this URL contains malicious software or could defraud visitors.

How would you categorize this URL?
Disease Vector
Sites that directly or indirectly facilitate the distribution of malicious software or source code

That site is clean and it helps us protecting our AdSense account from unsafe content posted by Nabble users. Do you see any option in your Trend Micro application that allows you to whitelist that site? If not, then maybe you should contact Trend Micro and explain the situation. No one else is complaining about this issue, so I assume Trend Micro is misinterpreting the AdBayes service.

Fair enough - it just started about a week ago.  I'll look and see if i can whitelist it.  Thanks!
