This afternoon every time I click on this forum Kaspersky internet security suite leaps into action and says there is a virus ??

03/11/2009 14:37:39 Detected: HEUR:Exploit.Script.Generic Firefox

This is followed by an url, which Kaspersky wont even allow me to type on here :eek: but its club for 1. if. ua/pics

Im assuming my puter is safe as Kapersky is blocking this every time, but can anyone explain what it is and why its happening just on this site please?

    Sounds like a virus infecting your firefox cache - have you tried clearing all your cache?

    Run the usual checks with malwarebytes, hijackthis...also scan your pc for viruses with kaspersky

    Don't forget to run Hijackthis also to check for unknown or suspicious processes.

    If you run Hijackthis, and post the contents of the logfile others here can see if anything they recognise as suspicious is in there and advise further.

    Same here.

    It is detecting a script on the home page as "heuristically suspicious" and it seems to have detected it on IE since last nights update. (No probs yesterday)
    I have sent a request to Kaspersky to check it out but for my money I reckon it's a false positive although the URL link in hethmar's post looks dodgy so MSE could have been hacked.
    Better safe than sorry I suppose although it is a pain and I will be interested what they say about it.
