1. Try the site with a different browser (IE, Opera, Firefox). If the
problem disappears, you know it is a setting in your Avant browser.

2. Disable whatever Paid Adwatch Monitoring is and see if that helps.

You have something that is protecting you because when I go to
bravenet.net, a popup appears that is an ad for "AskMen.com" which is
obnoxious and possibly dangerous. When I close out of the popup, I see
an error message on the main page that says "(EC) Sorry, but this
service has suffered an unrecoverable error of some sort". Now, whether
this error message appears because the site would like to stealth d/l
something on my computer and is failing because I don't use Windows - I
have no way of knowing.

However, I know what I think of this site. I certainly wouldn't use
them. If you are determined, then you will have to look at your
third-party security programs and your browser security/popup blocking
settings and see what is preventing you. No one can do this but a
person sitting at your computer.
