Absolutely continuous. This is slightly more restrictive than just having a continuous distribution function, effectively meaning that the density can be defined (with respect to Lebesgue measure on some interval, usually).
Counterexamples are pathological, the sort of thing you challenge 2nd year math/stat students to think up, but I can't say that I can remember what they'd look like.
I think the most common example is the Cantor distribution. See for example:
