Hi,

I can't transfer about 10 files
Here's a screen shot

http://www.ideasofamerica.net/files/

An example file is words.html

I also get the same alert when accessing http://www.ideasofamerica.net/words.html

I use Norton antivirus software.
Would this have something to do with Nortons and is not actually a virus?
It does not occur when using FF.

How can I transfer these files without getting the virus alert?

Thanks

image refers to:
js.downloader.trojan ,

symantec:
JS.Downloader.Trojan is a Trojan Horse that downloads malicious files from Web sites and executes them.

possible that words.html contains script that does this ,seeing as error occurs (~blocked)
ideasofamerica~! loops
and goes to turnwordsintotraffic~!

may also link to other file causing error,

check your computer with spyware scan and virus scan,

Thanks - I scanned my entire computer..it has no virus or spyware.

The page does use javascript to redirect people to the web site.

My computer deletes the file automatically so I can't download it.

Is their a way around this so I can transfer the files?

Thanks

image shows that infected file is on D: drive folder...\DWsites\~\words.html ,

is your transfer uploading to site, or downloading from,

if uploading, scan specific file/folder,
and then check ftp settings, may be being block at other end,

if downloading, may choose to change virus scanner options, to ask what to do first, and quarintine and scan later,

check firewall settings and logs as well, if any,

Thanks for the feedback!

Here's the redirect code

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="redirect();">
</BODY>
</HTML>

I was able to download the infected files and scan them with AVG and got no alert...unless AVG did not pick it up...so I am still not sure if this is a virus.

Please advise
