This morning I was going through the unsifted videos and all of a sudden firefox takes me to a warning page, telling me that the page I'm trying to visit probably contains selfinstalling trojans.

WTF? Videosift ain't got to trojans. Probably a glitch in firefox I think. Go back to videosift by entering the url in the url bar in a new tab, just to verify. As expected, all is well.

Going through the unsifted videos again, and while paging through the pages, I notice that a lot of ads are trying to set cookies (I set up firefox that I have to verify every cookie that gets set), something that didn't happen before. And about on page 8 of unsifted, the malware warning page pops up again. Curious, I ignore it this time and see what happens. For some reason I'm being redirected _away_ from videosift, and some page from www.vav-scanner.com loads, telling me I'm infected by malware (under linux.... riiiiight) and tries to start installing it's "Malware remover".

So it seems that firefox was right, but the redirect is strange. I didn't click on any link, the redirect started by itself.

Combined with the ton of banners that are trying to set cookies, could it be that videosift changed it's banner provider and the new one has a couple of bad eggs in its basket?
