    I think this was a false alarm. Anyway, why should it be different tomorow?

    Most likely Avast made a mistake or there's an issue with your browser being infected and possibly loading dangerous stuff on the page that shouldn't be there. You can scan GoDaddy with Sucuri which will check the popular antiviruses and nothing comes up.

    It was one of their partner links at the bottom. Looks like they fixed it.

    Use noscript + adblockplus.

    No site is safe with all the stupid ads now adays.

    The integrity of a link can change in an instant.. As you know.

    At any moment.. You're one retrovirus away from being owned.

    :/

    I got this as well, left it for an hour or so and it was all sorted. Didn't want to take a risk but I new the GoDaddy's would sort it out.

      Unfortunately, I don't seem to have the record in my logs, but I recall it being one of the icons near the bottom of the page.
