Avast detects Malware on my website. Norton and others do not
« on: November 30, 2013, 05:08:26 PM »
I bought this website a couple months ago and was using Norton at the time so never noticed anything because it doesn't detect any maleware on the site.  I am now using avast free and it detects malware, I contacted the person I bought the site from and he uses McAfee which doesn't detect it either. I Does anybody know why avast would detect malware when the others do not?
This is the site in question:  wxw.elitetraffic.net

I appreciate any input.

Well site is at least blacklisted and compromised. The site IP is on a server that was misused or defaced recently: -e.g. > htx://orphanlist.org/
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/elitetraffic.net  cat. malicious sites, spam-URLs.
Site probably infested with a variant of  Kryptik trojan
