It seems like some readers are getting a Malware hit from The Feral Irishman with Avast.
I am running Avast, have just updated the program and definitions and I don't get any warnings?
Last night I ran a few scans from online sources including google and the site shows up clean.
Can any of the computer gurus out there let me know how to track where it's coming from?
Avast shows a Malware hit.
I deleted the note for the malware info from Avast.
I received a warning just now. I also run AVAST. I reported it as a "false positive."
ReplyDeleteThanks Curmudgeon, I deleted the Avast info in your other comment. See Monty's comment below

clean as a whistle here. nothing showing up at all.
ReplyDeleteI turned off ad blocking and you're site gives a tremendous amount of popunders.
ReplyDeleteMy best guess is that one of those ads being served contains the malware. That's a common problem on large ad networks. Often different networks are chained together and it can be difficult to police what crap actually gets served into the website.
Your site is almost certainly clean.
This happened a couple of years ago with another anti-virus company. It turns out they were throwing out false positives to drum up business. I smell a rat here too. If I remember it was a third party. I'm using Firefox and Bitdefender on a Mac. I've tested your open site 4 times with zero results.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the input guys. I appreciate it!!
ReplyDeleteNothing here, but I'm running Ad Blocker and No Script.
ReplyDeleteCheck your browser extensions... Something might have been self-installled in it.
ReplyDeleteAnd Add-Ons too
DeleteRunning Bit defender--no problems
ReplyDeleteNothing here, running Ghostery and DoNotTrackMe, using Safari as a browser.
ReplyDeleteDeleted previous post for editing.
Avast triggered on this comment page as well as the main page. It may just be triggering on the bad URL you have posted in this and the main page entry. I'd delete that or obfuscate the bad url by replacing it of an image of the url if you want to display it. That may do it. I'm not finding the bad url in the page source other than there. It could still be hiding in a script though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monty.. I cleaned those up.
