okay hi all, am new in here,
ill copy another thread i found while searching for some info on that threat
It's been a couple of days when I ran into an advertising network that offers a very good e-CPM (Cost per Millennium). The site seems well and I incorporated their ad script into my personal website.
Couple of seconds later, I tried to access may main page but it was blocked by avast antivirus, saying that my site is infected with JS:iFrame-CLO [trj], a Java Script Trojan. I suspected that it came from the paid-to-promote.net advertising script so I hurriedly deactivated and removed their script unto my site and viola, when I reloaded my page after deactivating the said script, it loads without any problem.
I contacted the advertising network but it seems they don’t care about it, so I run a quick search on Google and found similar problems with different webmasters who installed the same script on their website.
There are however, more posts saying that they encounter no problem using different anti-virus software, and only Avast detects the said threat. Sound strange duh! :S
With my curiosity, I made various searches and found the same result. Only, and only avast antivirus said it was a threat. Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky and other reputable antivirus companies doesn’t know about it.
Could it be a false positive report? or could it be because It is relatively new threat and only avast had detected it yet? There is an argument whether it is a real threat or not, but the truth is, there’s not much information about this new threat (if that is the right term). I can’t even find information on what it does, not even avast can give detailed information.
Well, afraid to destroy my website’s reputation on Search Engines Ranking, I decided not to use paid-to-promote.net advertising network script anymore, so I’d rather find a bit lower e-CPM and use it instead.
If there’s anybody who had encountered this kind of issue, kindly post a comment and tell me whether it is a false possitive or is a real threat.
well on my side i didnt get infected since avast blocked the access before it happen, but as stated by the other guy : its mostly that i cant find any info on that threat, and it seem that only avast report it as a threat.
since my avast is the free version and the paid antivirus dont find it as a threat is it possible its a false positive ?
if u have any info on the js:iframe-clo could you share it ?
thanks in advance
