It's something on your computer - this was talked about a few months ago.

Actually, I just received a Symantec warning from this site as well:

[SID: 24443] Web Attack: Suspicious Browser Fingerprinting 3 detected.
Traffic has been blocked from this application: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe


My AV is up to date, and there are no viruses on my system. I think possibly one of the banner ads is trying to run malicious code or something, might want to check that out.

Use Firefox web browser instead of Internet Explorer and you will never have this problem again.

The offending site listed (w5e3ir.com) is not listed in any template that makes the site. I would need specifics as to the thread, page or posts to try and narrow it down.

Not having any problems here, I suspect your Computer already has a Virus and it's trying to redirect you to an infected Site.

Possibly the banner ads trigger it somehow.
Is your Flash player up to date?

I got one like that two years ago, was called" XP Security 2010" at the time. AVG let it on my computer. I had clicked on a picture someone had posted from Flickr, which seemed to launch the virus. It had placed two exe files in the root directory and a red icon in the task bar, accompanied by a sound every 90 seconds reminding me to click on the red icon. I tried AVG online live support and all seemed well after their technician worked on it for 2 hours. Then when all was supposedly done and we disconnected I tried to run a program and it wouldn't launch, so I tried to restart the computer, and it wouldn't boot, just a blinking "-" . Finally resorted to a week old backup I had done using Acronis, loaded it to a new HDD, and all was OK again.
