Adbrite/avnads said they fixed that, but obviously they don't really have a grasp on what they are dealing with(or maybe they know exactly what they are doing)
For the record, Trendmicro still flags sites that use adbrite/avnads as having spyware and recommends closing them and never returning to the site again.(See the screenshot in the last link posted to see what it actually says)
As the links they are adding to their network are direct to trojans, it doesn't appear that they give a shit who gets infected.

The issues arrose from advertisers with Flash banners. We have since removed the ability for advertisers to upload Flash banners.

The spyware companies identified us as spyware due to flash banners that one of our advertisers was running. We have removed the ability for advertisers to manually upload flash banners, and are working with the security company to remove the alerts.

If anyone runs into similar issues or has questions about working with us I encourage you to contact me.
