Google last scanned the forums today and shows no currently known issues. We'd need more details as to exact what Avast is showing as suspicious. Could possibly be a false-positive. I'm also not seeing any logged issues for this morning.

I don't know what changed, if anything changed.I haven't logged in since earlier today and Avast isn't popping up with any issues now.i feel it was a false alarm but wanted to let someone know just in case.

Those types of threats frequently come from a remote linked image in a signature, which based on the usergroup settings appears to not be possible here, and plain message posts.

I don't know where you picked up that URL, but I searched the database and I see no link to the URL provided by the alert notice you posted. It's possible an Administrator/Moderator found a spammer and took care of the account. If it was a security breech, which this does not appear to be the case, there's quite a bit of records kept and I see nothing for LS1Tech for this weekend.
