There is very often such exploits in adds, and sites which use a third party company to cycle adds on their sites often have such problem even though they really have no way to prevent it.

Hi, I'm not sure how it installs the blackhole exploit kit once AVG scanner had identified it and blocked it I didn't proceed any further, I didn't click on anything but as AVG had identified it I assumed it would infect if I just visited the site?

The site has been probably hijacked by a third party, unless they suddenly turned evil. I once witnessed PhotoBucket.com being hijacked and spreading a virus, they admitted it outright via email and all.

If you want to test it, besides all that software that doesn't protect you in the end, the first thing you must do is NOT surfing with an admin account, or enabling UAC, for God's sake. Nothing would have happened, even if you had no anti-virus.
