VIRUS warnings
My Norton Antivirus alerted 45 times to this website.[size=4][/size]
31 Answers
I took a screenshot and attached it.
The virus seems to be contained within an iframe which is an HTML object that lets you load other pages within your page. For example I could use it to create a webpage that loads, google, yahoo, and live all in the same page.
This make me believe that it could be one of the advertisements that load an evil webpage.
I hope that helps!
!Salud!

PS:
I just see a totally blank page and that's all I see when I try to view the source code, too.
Firefox 3.0.8
The reason there is no source is because your anti virus blocks the connection to the page, preventing it from downloading anything so that you do not get the virus.
Just on a related note, the translator box isn't working at all for me. I type in a word and it stays blank when I search. Maybe I should have put this in a different question, but thought it may have something to do with the virus.
Ok, what does all this mean in normal speak?? jeje As Heidita knows, I am new to computers and the corresponding lingo. Is any of this dangerous for my computer?
While a page here was loading, I was redirected to http://all-security9.com where I was greeted with a false alert that I needed to download Alpha Antivirus so it could perform a free virus scan.
Hate to bump an old thread, but the virus seems to have struck again. I was using the translation service and "http://mycomputerantispy01.com/scan1/?pid=305s4&engine=pXT21TT2NTIwMS4xNTcuMzMmdGltZT0xMjUuMMQMPAlM" showed up and started "scanning my computer." My real virus protection stopped it, luckily. It considered it a trojan.
Thank you everyone for the updates on this issue. For a short time, we had a problem on the site that was causing virus scanners to flag our site as a threat. Some malicious code was added to the reference, wordoftheday, learn, and company parts of the site. On April 14th, we were able to identify and remove all of this code. Since then, we have not had any issue. However, the virus scanners that flagged the site earlier take some time to update. So in sum, the threat is now gone, but the site was marked as a threat by a few programs and it will take a little while for those programs to rescan the site and catch up. Thanks again for all the help in identifying and addressing the issue.
All the best,
Chris
Interesting, Malnor, I have passed on the info to the web creator. Thanks.

But this site makes me wonder, perhaps some free things are not so free after all.
....meaning exactly''?
Meaning that it depends on whether these reports on trojan droppers, based merely on heuristics, are false positives or true positives. As for the Acrobat exploits, Kaspersky antivirus has reported exploits in perfectly valid software commonly found in computers, such as flash and quicktime. These software vendors are not hackers but they sure like to take their time getting around to fixing these issues, leaving the end-user prey to all sorts of mischief from random internet sites and even, famously, from highly popular sites such as Myspace where videos are prolific.

Some of these warnings are caused by the fact that this site relies on Adobe Acrobat versions with software exploits. Some are caused by NAV heuristics warnings about trojan droppers. But this site makes me wonder, perhaps some free things are not so free after all.
Yes I get the NORTON 45 threats warning EVERY time I use the site.
