Hey Guys,

My AV is blocking something from your site. I don't know if it's from an ad or what.
here is a screenshot of the warning

and a screen shot of the Chrome console

Hi @stewi0001,

I can confirm this is not coming from our backend. After your message I looked around for possible sources (before I straight blamed an ad network), but in this case it looks like it was a false positive as identified by a few sources:

The good news, there's nothing to be worried about. Thanks for bringing this up to our attention.
