I've been trying to edit pages recently, and for whatever reason, a McAfee virus website pops up occassionally. Antivirus has turned up with no results, and no other website does this. Am I getting a false negative, or is this happening to others as well?

Edit: Searching online for answers has led me to find that it's related to advertisements, and has happened several times in the past.

This should be reported to the Advertising and Computer Security Issues thread in the FAQ forum with as much data as you can provide.
