Anybody else here who uses AVG getting warnings for SPS?

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I get a warning when I first go here and have to tell my browser to ignore the warning. It only started doing this today for me. Anyone else getting this?

I added a new ad network today but I took it away just a few minutes ago.

Strange thing was once I ignored the warning the URL in the address bar was for some ad server, not sps. I normally use firefox, but when I went to SPS in Internet Explorer, the AVG warnings were displayed in the individual frames, like below.

when I get on Word, I get a message that I am not using an authentic version of Microsoft Office and that I need to download ActiveX.
What does that mean?
