MacAfee Antivirus going nuts over FT

My MacAfee is popping up windows over and over again while using FlyerTalk to the point I don't think I am going to be able to use it any more. There were 15 created while posting this!!!!!

This just started happening yestereday. The window shows the message below:

"This File Download has been blocked"

"When we tested this site, we found downloads that some people consider adwre, spyware, or other potentially unwanted programs".

I'm going to move this over to our Tech Issues forum, so that the tech guys are aware of this.

Thanks for the feedback.

Just to cover all bases; You didn't by any chance update MacAfee did you?

This was tech's reply:

"We don’t have any new ad campaigns running that would be causing this, but most likely it are his high security settings on MacAfee that are getting flagged any time an ad is trying to write a cookie or load an external image/flash."


Thanks
