Hello,
Can it really be a virus in a .jpg file?
I visited a normal site (just a chocolate producing company, no porn, no warez), and while trying to open a picture, avast! informed me of the JS:Packed-AB [trj] virus inside of it and terminated connection.
I wrote a letter to the site owner, telling them about the issue, but they replied that they scaned all the files, and did not find any threat. They said that my antivirus wrongly thought that "some of their java applets were virus"
today I visited that site again and again it was a virus in it.
In fact it is not my problem, but I do not want other people to suffer if there is a virus indeed. Can anybody check whether this is a real virus of false alarm? I want to convince site owner that they have a virus but I am not sure how else can I prove them on.
virus is reported to be in this file:
WARNING!
do not visit this link if you do not have antivirus!
