Every time I log on to ECF, I get the same Intellicig ad, and every time I get that ad my anti-virus software alerts me that there is a phishing attack in progress, luckily I'm able to stop it... But the few times that I have logged on to ECF and there was a different Ad for a different company, I didn't get any phishing alerts...
Has anyone else experienced this? And to Intellicig - You might want to check your ads just to be safe!

Edit: I never get any virus/phishing/spyware/malware alerts from any other website with any other Ads, only on ECF and ONLY on ECF when there is specifically an Intellicig Ad on the main page. It may just be a coincidence but I'd rather post this here and be safe than sorry, just in case. This thread is not meant to slander or deface Intellicig in any way shape or form. I am just concerned.

I've also had a few, some of them though generated from "pastes" from outside, research, videos, etc. If I know who posted them I tell them about it, but some are re-posted from somewhere else, so can't always do that. And sometimes it's too late if your computer freezes. We had big time trouble a while back with banners.
Keep your bug alerts current!
I've not had the Intellicig one, I am a staunch user of ECOpure.

I don't know anything about the website but phishing isn't like spyware or malware. It is a website or email that trys to get you to willingly give them your personal information. So, it's not like you really have anything to worry about.

What anti-virus are you using?
I know the difference between all of them I was just kind of listing all of the different nuisances I suppose. I'm using Kapersky, it came with the "work computer" I'm on. It's pretty good actually.
