I went to check on my dragons, when my avast (anti-vi) popped up multiple warnings, and my java (which i normally have turned OFF to avoid just this type of thing) started loading up. Once again, its the "antivi 2010" virus, sneaking its way into javascripted ads on popular websites.

Here is the accompanying anti-vi ad graphic bar. This is just an image and wont do anything, it doesnt have the script with it.



So, dont go to dragoncave without your antivirus ON, and Im going to go post a warning on thier forums, hopefully thier devs will squish it.

Hmm ok, I cannot access thier forums. Either they are being blocked by avaste, or they were hacked, or down for maintenance. Just so I dont lose it, Im posting the source of the offending page here for thier tech support people. Interestingly enough, it was a google ad. Which means, google isnt screening java for viruses, and anywhere the google ads show could be a threat.
