I think it necessary to advise other users of a warning from my anti-virus about three "high risk" attacks originating from my click on the paint assistant (Software for model painting) advertisement. The details are 1:bloodhound.exploit.153,a trojan type heuristic virus.2:downloader ,much of the same . 3:was something that tried to exploit vulnerabilities in accessing my computer. Nothing like this has ever happened to me on this site & it came as a nasty surprise because the computer took a while to sort itself out. Can or is something going to be done about this?

Thanks for the head's up. I have notified the advertiser and suspended the ad until they can get that cleared up.
