I saw it this morning, the first time i went there. Apparently some ad hosts don't screen their content overmuch. I put the latest patch on Mozilla this afternoon. Perhaps that filters the fake virus warning out, because i can't see it anymore.

What the actual "scan antivirus" program does is have you computer give you fake virus warnings every time you go online. You are also bombarded with popups telling you to register the software (for a hefty fee). It may include keyloggers, and other malware as well, I dunno. One of the reasons why I use a Mac is so I don't have to worry about viruses, etc.
