Viruses and worms
1

Hello,
I am writing for your help. Together with my collegues we have disagreement about Avast virus detection on the website: http://www.astrosurf.com/lunascan/arkhipov2.htm. Avast detects threat as a HTML:Iframe-gen virus. In my opinion, after checking source code of the page, there is no threat whatsoever, it is only false positive alert generated by Avast, which detects HTML code IFRAME in a web site source and marks it as a threat. IFRAME contains a link to some old stats file: http://www.astrosurf.com/stats.php3 Could you have a look at the website and see if there is any reason to be worried and sort our argument for good?

Thank you very much :slight_smile:

Does not seem to be the html code (encrypted script), but it could be an iframe.
Sorry, I’m not an expert to test it.
Generally, avast detection is accurate in these cases.

Also, please, check if there are infected gif images (resolved as infected server generated messages): http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=45658.0

Please, edit the links to not-live ones (change http for hxxp, for instance or add spaces between the url).

Hi counter,

Web page security report says the page was suspicious at times.
This should be considered by the webadmin or hoster…
So what is the present status of wXw.astrosurf.com?
Counter make your links non-clickable by either htxp or wxw, so the curious does not get infected.
The link you gave could have been hacked through weak PHP used.
