Should i be worried?

[mac124]

Everytime i come to the hexus forum home page AVG pops up this



Now i have had a quick google and basically found nothing, anyone else come across this?

Should i be worried?

I am running all manor if virus checks etc to see if it is in fact my pc and not the forum.

doesn't look like it - it would appear your AVG is just particularly sensitive

There's a small piece of obfuscated javascript on the homepage but as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything malicious (in fact, as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything at all, unless I'm missing some input parameters somewhere: when I downloaded and deobfuscated it all it seems to do is: "document.write('')"! Can't help thinking I'm missing something somewhere...

Cheers Scary dude, dunno what you did, or someone else has done, but its gone, my scans certainly didn't find anything other than the usual tracking cookies so i assume i am clean.

Tis a slight worry when things like that popup in your face though.

Thanks again.

Most likely it's just a false positive as jim said but you might want to go Tools>Options>Privacy tab>Ensure the drop-down menu says 'Use custom settings for history' and make sure 'Accept third party cookies' is unchecked - that should stop/reduce you tracking cookie problem.

Done, cheers for the pointer

Hmm seems it was something on the forum then.
