I have been getting quite a bit of spyware and viral detections today whenever I browse VG Chartz. I use mozilla firefox to browse vg chartz, and wonder if others here have been having the same problems today.

I use script blocker. :P That's a mozilla addon that keeps java script from running unless you allow it. Kinda annoying, but you don't get any virus/spyware.

Right now I'm blocking out 4 of the 6 scripts here:

fastclick.com

tribalfusion.com

exponential.com

intellitxt.com

:P if those are popping up for ya, it could be this site.
