trojan on LCB
mookaloid - 25/1/10 at 09:47 AM

I get this message from Kaspersky every time I open a thread on here:

25/01/2010 09:37:45 Web Anti-Virus Detected: Trojan.JS.Redirector.ar http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js//show_ads

Is this a trojan or just Kaspersky being over enthusiastic?

Cheers

Mark

Nod seems happy so far.

its just over enthusiasm,

JS.redirector.ar just means there is a small piece of code (imbedded in the google ad) which will redirect you to the site in the ad if you click on it.

i block all the ads with adblock+ in firefox anywho.

Kaspersky doesn't do that with me

Anyone for a Trojan?

I've had this on the forum a while ago - it turned out to be someone's signature picture that was linked to his home site.

It wasn't a trojan, but the redirection triggered a few virus-checking applications.
