My very first attempt logging in to PC Guide forums while using W7 RC 64bit and IE 8.
Is this a false positive?

Probably is, let's see if anyone else reports anything.
I am running 32 bit XP and Firefox w NoScripts, the extension stops iFrame exploits before my AV would trigger.

Edit:
Just logged in via IE7, no problem detected. Avast is my AV here.

...Firefox w NoScripts...
I'll give this a go and see what happens.

I get the same warning running FF (3.0.11) with NoScript 1.9.5

I should make this clear: This happens when I try to go to www.pcguide.com
But, no problem with www.pcguide.com/vb

Oh, that is different altogether. My Avast is turned all the way to high and I was not getting the alerts here on the forums.
I sent an email to Charles about the main site issue, I got the alert too.

Interesting.

I didn't get to respond last night, but I'm running Win 7 RC Build 7100 and Avast 64-bit at normal settings and all is/was well with the board. I'll check out the main site for fun.

EDIT/UPDATE: No problems at all: Firefox 3.0.11 with NoScript, Win 7 RC, and Avast 64-bit.

Today it comes up clean.
Just checked my email, Charles cleaned the problem, responded to the email I sent last night.
Thanks Sassie05!
