Hi,
I just joined a cashback internet site called cashback rewards but everytime I use it I get a message from my AVG protection telling me it has found an access threat:
Danger: AVG Active Surf-Shield has detected active threats on this page and has blocked access for your protection.
The page you are trying to access has been identified as a known exploit, phishing, or social engineering web site and therefore has been blocked for your safety. Without protection, such as that in the AVG Security Toolbar and AVG, your computer is at risk of being compromised, corrupted or having your identity stolen. Please follow one of the suggestions below to continue.

Name: SEO Exploit Kit (type 1326)
Now the site has good reviews on a forum here so I wondered if anyone else had encountered this problem?
It makes me nervous to use it.
