Dear friends, For the last couple of days , whenever I try to browse through the site I get this message from my antivrus program (avast)
Infection Details
URL: http://fla15.maxexp.com/tag1.html Process: C:UsersUserAppDataLocalGoogleChrom... Infection: URL:Mal Warn your friends to avoid this website
Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Do you have any idea what may have caused it?Or how I can handle it?
Thanks in advance!

Apparently, a lot of people get the same message when browsing different websites (Eurosport, i.e); maybe you should do a complete scan, because the malware could have installed itself in your hard drive (C disk).

"A quick Google search for that domain name shows that a few people on
completely unrelated forums have the same problem when clicking on links
in those forums.
Your computer or web browser is probably
infected with malware, which is hijacking links in the web pages you
view. Some virus databases stated that that domain name is linked to a
virus called "Swizzor". Apparently, you downloaded a program that was bundled with the infection.
Try
running MalwareBytes. You can also attempt manual removal; I found some
decent instructions in a Google search, most of which should work
without needing to download any new programs."
