    Site: cm.netseer.com.

    Most likely a new random banner link from that site. If your advertising is cheap, sometimes they'll "purchase" an ad to take advantage of your high traffic.

    Or, netseer being the careless company they are, didn't screen what they're serving up to you.

    INGO has no malware. It's slightly possible that one of the rotating banner ads includes some code that is throwing a false positive, but it's much more likely that your computer is infected with something. However, in order to determine that, you need to provide much more detailed information. Preferably a URL and/or a screen shot of the page being displayed when you got the alert.

    I will do that.

    If you read the notice, it's not saying your computer is infected. It says that cm.netseer.com is a know proliferator of spyware and is blocking the page because an object on the page is being served by cm.netseer.com.

    I actually meant a screen shot of the INGO page that generated the flag, not the flag itself. They'll need to see whatever banner ad or embedded photo or whatever is causing it.
