When I open the diyaudio home page I get a warning from my anti-virus software (avast) that it has blocked a malicious URL.

The message I get is
Infection Details.
URL: "http://www.cloud-jscript.com/gate.php"
Process: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explore...
Infection: "URL:Mal"

Yes, I've just been hit too but my Virus protection has stopped it.

Could be coming through the add's apparently it's the latest way to distribute malware. Infect an Add Network and then all sites that use that advertising network become distribution sites for the malware.

avast! saved your computer from crashing
You just dodged a bullet

You may be wondering how you ended up with a virus, especially if you were visiting a ‘normal’ site. The latest research from the avast! Virus Lab shows that more than 80% of malware (viruses, spyware, and the like) spreads through legitimate websites, with only 1% coming from suspicious or ‘dodgy’ sites.

Good thing avast! had your back.

The rest is about selling you various upgraded protection.

Are you all using avast?

Could it just be a false positive since that URL isn't assigned to an IP?

Dunno, what I know about how this stuff works you could fit on the head of a pin, but considering some of the other stuff that shows up on my daily scans of this and other anti-virus/mal-ware freeware that I do nothing about with no apparent problems suggests it's more about scaring folks like me into signing up for extended coverage.
