Default Suspicious website warnings???

For the last several weeks, every time I open the ls1tech homepage, my Trend Micro PC-cillin launches a Suspicious website warning for "dangerous web site/ spyware" and also when going back and forth from different sub-forums.

It never used to do this, and only does it for ls1tech.
Nothing has been changed in my set up, and have gone into my software options to allow ls1tech.

Even blocked the spyware addy, "http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-ib_autoenth_sede_",
but can't seem to keep the window from popping up unless I disable the phishing/pharming filter all together.

What's causing this?

Anybody else getting these, and what can I do beyond turning off the filter for all sites?

It's just all the banner ads throughout this site.
They may leave tracking cookies on your system.

When doing a scan with your spyware, you should be able to deleate them.

It's not phishing, that's a different thing.

It's cookie tracking, not sure but my guess is how they can monitor specific site activity.

I get them only when logging in. Norton 9 cleans em' up nicely.

I get those warnings sometimes on myspace. I have a Mac and I'm running Safari, so stuff like that is usually not an issue.

I received the message today for the first time when I used google to get to the site.
