For the last few weeks when I get on this site my computer says it has a TROJAN HORSE. If I clean it comes back. This doesn't happen on any other site. What the heck?

A Trojan horse, or Trojan, is a standalone malicious program which may give full control of infected PC to another PC[1]. It may also perform typical computer virus activities[2]. Trojan horses may make copies of themselves, steal information, or harm their host computer systems.[3] The term is derived from the Trojan Horse story in Greek mythology because Trojan horses employ a form of “social engineering,” presenting themselves as harmless, useful gifts, in order to persuade victims to install them on their computers (just as the Trojans were tricked into taking the Trojan Horse inside their gates)

Yes, I'm getting the same thing. I haven't been on this site for almost a yr now, and every time I switch pages I get a pop up that my anti-virus (Bitdefender) Is picking up a virus called Trojan.JS.Redirector.ACI comming from www.ATVbanners.com/
