Real danger or false positive
« on: March 31, 2008, 04:46:44 PM »
Please attached .jpg. Is this real danger or false positive? On access scanner did the job while accessing hxxp :// www.infomaza.com/tv.html

McAfee or AVG didn't complain at all.

Linkscanner indicates an exploit!

Perhaps remove direct link?

Could you please remove the direct link to harmful malvare!

Edit: This is not a false positive, but real and potential harmful malware.
        I quoted Linkscanner's take on this, best to avoid that place until it's fixed.
        Thanks.

Can you please stop posting live links to suspect pages, the link should be broken in the same way as I have done in the quoted text. Please modify your post.

There really is no way to safely view anything on infected pages. Heed the warning in your next post don't click on the link and modify you post with the link. You already to a degree have an anti-exploit program, avast has blocked it.

IIRC Firefox's Noscript extension has protection for web bugs. Is this a web bug in the site???

No it isn't a web bug but an iframe (that is 1 pixel square) which tries to run content from another location as psw wrote, quote below.
