IGN.com infection warning?
« on: December 27, 2009, 04:21:15 PM »
Going to ign.com today gave a warning for a (script-inf) virus being present. Because of the size of the site I double checked this from another computer and got the same warning. Is this a false positive?

Hi destraudo,

It was a false positive because the site was Netshield IP blocked because of links to alleged rogue software, as Pondus mentioned has now been corrected through the latest iAVS update 091227-1,
