Does Mesich still peruse this domain? I just went to his site via Google & my virus protection came back telling me there was a virus. Can someone tell me what that was or check it out?
Thanks

Haven't seen him in awhile, however The Count looked in a few days ago. Maybe he'll notice this thread.
Don't know why your AV went off though...
works fine for me.
Skip

It popped up a malware for me as well. maybe you need to update your anti virus program.
This is what was found:HTML/Crypted.Gen - Malware
Description:
To avoid detection by antivirus software, authors of HTML malware use browser features like Java and VisualBasic Script. These scripts are small and very often quite simple encryption routines hiding the malicious parts of the script. Encrypted malware is detected as HTML/Crypted.Gen.This was a file that was written to search for files on the computer
In reference to 11/05/2008

I get no alerts whatsoever on the site, suggest you check your antivirus software for updates to correct false positive detections.
I also advise y'all not to be quite so paranoid.

I just tried the link again.
Alerted again of a trojan and connection aborted.
Details:
Malware type: JS:Agent-BA [Trj]
VPS version: 090209-0, 09/02/2009This is the latest Avast virus definition database (Note the date bolded).
I also run the link through http://linkscanner.explabs.com and it was classified as DANGEROUS: LinkScanner Online has found
[Link to known exploit site]Here is the page with the full details:

It still may be a false positive but I like to err on the side of caution.

I recommend that you report the possible false positive detection to Avast! via their support facility(s), either their forum or email support.
I'd like to know what they say if they answer you.
Still no problem navigating the site here.

It's not only Avast that throws up the warning, explabs is a totally independant link scanner.
Give it a blast, enter the URL at the link provided below and type the confirmation characters:

Yeah, well, Dr.Web anti-virus link checker 1.0.18 says it's clean.
I really think it's a false positive.

I reported it to Google. They said they'd check it out. Sorry if I started a scare but I'd rather be safe than sorry. And I know Mesich would want to know his site is being reported as attacked.
Thanks for checking into it.
