Reported malicious object on forum pages

Post by Carp37 »

Hi-
this might not be a true site problem, but Kaspersky Antivirus is reporting a malicious object on every forum page for me-

detected: Trojan program Trojan.JS.Redirector.ar URL: http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pa ... //show_ads

It's only been doing this 12 pm, and I'm not sure if its a "real" problem or a network glitch on my work PC.

It might just be our antique software then (Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0, Kaspersky Antivirus 6.0). The message hasn't appeared before and isn't appearing on other sites, even thought they've also got ad-boxes on.

my mcafee has been catching trojans lately but I cannot say for sure if on this site or not. I will pay attention closer next time the box comes up.
