Social Phishing on DeviantArt?

Wed Oct 14, 2009, 5:28 AM
It's been a long time since I last logged in to DeviantArt. Enough where I currently have nearly 2,000 deviations to go through.

My AVG gave me a warning about DA when I tried to log in. The message said the website contained malicious code and cautioned me from going further. It's the first time I was ever met with such a message. The AVG specifically targeted an advertisement on the front page.

It switched to the warning so fast I didn't have time to see anything on the home page. However, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem.

I haven't encountered anything before like that on DA, so I'm not concerned that it will be a future problem.

Now I wonder what advertisement that AVG red flagged... Hmm.
