Over the weekend we had an issue with the ad server, though it was fixed yesterday. It's possible that it's cached since the weekend, if anyone else receives one of these issues again, please let us know so we can investigate why it's happening again, if it is.

Hmm, having researched this warning message, the "Mal_Hifrm" is said to be a low-threat, non-destructive entity.
I'm reluctant to contact the advertising team to investigate the ads until another person reports the issue. As last time when there was an issue numerous people came forward. For now, I'd just recommend clearing out your IE cache.
I also encourage anyone else who may experience such a warning to come forward so we can see if the problem is originating from the ad server.
