    Oovoo ads containing viruses?

    So a bunch of friends and I use Oovoo a lot to video chat, and about 10 mins ago our Avasts went apeshit with URL:Mal infections blocked and HTML:Script-inf infections blocked etc. Mine only happened once but my friends has been going off pretty regularly for the last 15 minutes now. Think it is just the ads? I'm not really sure what to take this as.

    I don't trust Oovoo. A lot of kids that come to my job with virus infected computers and they have Oovoo, they installed it recently. So in my book, Oovoo is a no-no.

    I think here may be a relation between teenagers/hipsters that use oovoo and that are just stupid and pick up viruses from other sources, so idk. the program itself isn't a problem I know that. I think it's the ads that they use are possibly malicious. Either way it stopped after that one time so idk.
