Threat alert

I use AVAST antivirus and today whenever I try to visit the Daily Mail website a threat detection window pops up with the following:
URL:http://d1ros97qkrwjf5.cloudfront.net/42/eum/rum.js
Process: file://C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\...
Infection: url:Mal

Other websites don't seem to cause this. Is there something wrong with DM's site or might it be my computer?

    Probably a health warning against reading any Daily Mail story on their website...!!! :-)

    I think it's trying to tell you something :D What are they going to talk about over in General Discussion if the DM site isn't working? :p

    I only visit the site to look at the pictures, I swear! :D

    I did consider that maybe it's a sign, but as I don't believe in those, there must be a reason why this is happening. A false alert maybe? And I just went over to check again and looks like whatever the problem was, it is solved now, no more alerts.
