The warning appears to have been caused by a malicious advertiser, who will obviously be permanently banned. We are working to have the situation remedied. Gold members will receive this warning as well, since they access the contests from the same url that was flagged, though no ads are shown.

Thanks WM. Once the issue has been dealt with could you please post a message here so we know the risk has been removed? I'd like to play today but would prefer to do so without having my computer become a zombie ;)
