    You're using Trend Micro, eh? It's nothing to worry about, it's a false positive. Some say stuff.22.afterdawn.com does the same thing.

    I think the "stuff" is realted to the profiles page or server, not sure.

    The news feed box you see above the last post in a thread, is loaded from stuff2.afterdawn.com . This is basically done to keep the httpd log files clean.

    There was a problem with the news feed page on Friday, which caused it to display an error. The error page might have caused some anti-virus software to display a warning. We're aware of the issue, and it will be fixed in the near future.
