    I just tried the same page and did not get the warning from Avast.

    Maybe it came from code in a banner in rotation??

    I don't think those online virus detectors are 100% accurate. I have Trend Micro, and apparently http://proxify.com is dangerous, while https://proxify.com is safe lol

    Sorry that I've been so slow to follow up on this issue since we resolved this issue at least a couple of months ago. One of our older servers was infected which led to the random insertion of links to c.halio.org on some of our sites. We plugged the server vulnerability, cleansed the infection, and instituted monitoring to help us detect any further occurrences. At the time we worked on this issue the c.halio.org site was dead and posed no threat to anyone.
