I am new and could really use some help

Viruses and worms
1

I am a web designer and I went to my website this morning and when I typed in my URL, I received an Avast Warning for Malware. I have taken a screen shot and attached it to this post.

I have aborted the connection as I am unfamiliar with this type of warning and because I cannot understand why it has occurred. I have checked all files on the server and cannot find anything relating to a file of this type. I have also emptied my temp internet files.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to find and get rid of this? Our reputation will be at great risk if people get malware from our webiste.

Our URL is http://www.pipsqueakwebdesigns.com.au

Thank you in advance for all help!!

Great, just what I did not want to hear! :cry:

So, how do I find out and where do I check for this file so I can get rid of it???

I have never had any kind of virus or hacking with my website and I am very confused as to the process I should follow.

Well pipsqueak,

I can reassure you, avast did not flag anything while visiting the link you gave there, clean.
Also Exploit Prevention Lab LinkScanner gives the all clear. Maybe it was just the computer you were on, or not related to visiting the specific website,

I guess that pipsqueak must have removed the iframe tag that was causing the problem, as I do didn’t get any alert and couldn’t see an iframe tag in his home page…

Though we will have to wait for further input if pipsqueak has sorted it out.

but its maybe a exploit infection for his website im not sure but exploit infection can act to the anti virus like a virus i think ?

Not on this malware name HTML:iframe-inf as it is specifically related to an iframe tag, present in the page that it alerts on.

Thank you to all who were kind enough to respond to my pleas for help!! You are obviously a great bunch of folks.

The reason for the HTML ifram.inf was a file in a program I bought over the net for making forms for on websites. Obviously they were not as ethical as they claimed to be.

Anyhow, it is now all fixed and again I thank everyone. It is good to know that a person can go to a friendly place and get help (and give it someday).

Cheers to all!
