From doing a bit of reading the iframe is the advertisment bits that are around the main window. Since ads tend to change from page to page, im not sure that you would get the same results if you did the same survey twice. Hence it woud be impossible for the devs to check all these pages even if they wanted to(which i promise you they dont). Although i admit im not a security expert, but it could be a cookie placed by an ad site causing the issue or avasts webfilter just not liking the site due to previous reports of malware to avast. If you consider that all these advertsing sites tend to sit on the same web host, it's possible that another sitemhosted on the same ip does have malware and the ip address of the entire advertising web host has been blocked by avast. Im not saying 100 percent thats whats happening, but its possible to get get false positives this way. From further reading, you should be pretty safe if you avoid clicking on advertisements within the advertisement. Avast seems to be blocking the frame itself so that the advert doesn't even load, so you should be 100 percent safe. Once again, i'm a jack of all trades IT guy, so a proper web/security person might have a different view. |
