False MAL Positive
« on: February 21, 2013, 12:41:56 AM »
I am not sure of the proper procedure for reporting a false MAL positive, so I am posting here.

The site is xww.fearlessbaliretreats.com and I think the MAL warning is actually coming from this file: xww.fearlessbaliretreats.com/files/main_style.css

This appears to me a straight-forward CSS file as far as I can tell.

I have checked the site with several other online malware detection tools and they all report the site as clean.

Anything you can do to help would be appreciated.

It WAS the standard MAL popup:

Infection Details
URL: http://www.fearlessbaliretreats.com/
Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox 1...
Infection: URL:Mal

But this morning none of the 3 machines tested yesterday are throwing the error. Something must have updated over night.

Thanks

Pondus, according to VirusWatch there was unknown html malware on that domain, but that was closed on 2013-02-21 02:19:44 after just 1.2 hrs of activity,
