Viruses and worms

hey,

today i got an avast pop-up message, when i visited hitmanforum.com (a forum for the videogame franchise “hitman” by eidos). The pop-up says, that avast blocked a malware infection along with the following information:

URL: http://www.hitmanforum.com (without the - didn’t want to auto add hyperlink)

Infection: JS:ScriptIP-inf[Trj]

Process: …/firefox.exe

virustotal didn’t find anything on the site, could this be a false positive?
