It is most likely due to an ad that is being served to you. Clear your cookie list and that should take care of the issue

Be warned, there is some malware attached somehow to this site. I have the top McAfee antivirus package and stiil caught a nasty virus. My hard drive had to be wiped clean and restored from backup. 99/o certain it was caught here not BOLs fault, but nasty stuff. I never enter this site now except from my wife's Mac.

You haven't emailed me and Shannon has posted it was an outside ad issue.

Yessir I sent an email to the link at the top of the page with an attachment of what my antivirus was detecting. Now whether or not that goes to you I have no idea.

I never got it. Try a PM from now on. I get those quickly. Just click on the envelope by my username. Sorry I didn't see the other one.

Also getting a pop up wanting me to take a survey to win a prize. Very annoying.

If running Chrome or Firefox install the Ad Blocker feature. No more viruses and no more ads. The site will load much faster too.

It's sad that 247 can't get a handle on this ad problem. This same issue pops up every few months and users shouldn't be getting viruses due to ads from a website that they are a paying member of.

Good morning,
Sorry for the inconvenience. I believe it's the same issue as last week where Google's system is auto-blocking legitimate advertisers accidentally. Here's a link to a story about it: http://www.thestreet.com/story/11831193/1/malware-warnings-originating-from-netseer.html
Just in case it's a different issue, I've looped the Google team. Here's the message from our account manager who is trying to help us find the problem.
"Hi Laura,
So sorry for the inconvenience. I've read through the postings [Here on BOL]. I have escalated to see if anything has been flagged and will also hit the sit.
I will let you know as soon as I receive a response.
I apologize again,
Daniel"
If you can provide screen shots or any additional information about the issue, please email advertising@247sports.com directly.
Thank you and our apologies again for the inconvenience,
Laura

And if you can send me a screen shot or an exported file from McAffe or whatever virus alert software you're using, it could help locate the problem.
Again please send it to advertising@247sports.com.

What part of clearing your cookies did you people not understand? That will cause you to stop getting served the ad. I know I do this for a living.

Tusktider - you're right. Here's the latest email from my contact:
"Hey Laura,
Just received a msg that we haven't flagged anything. Your users might be seeing the same one as two days ago in their cache. As one of the postings said, if possible, I would recommend those users getting warned to clear cookies and cache.
Is it possible for me or your end to post something in that forum?
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience,
Daniel"
