Is the site infected with 'malicious code'

Yesterday got continual site server errors throughout the day. Today I keep bombing out to yahoo news every few goes on MN. It has also triggered Avast which says the site is infected with malicious code. Is this happening to anybody else?

Hi OP

The site outages yesterday were caused by an update we were doing for notifications. Really sorry for any inconvenience they caused.

The redirects are something we are currently investigating and we believe that it's caused by a rogue advert. Please can you let us know what device and browser you're using to access the site, and provide us with any screenshots that you're able to take? We're keen to get this resolved ASAP.

But only on MN which is strange if it was only me and not the site.
