the Avast is still showing it as containing a URL:Mal , is it a blacklist of Avast?
Not other Antivirus are detecting anything now. Also this is proof of the lack of any infection right now.

When I enter that URL, I do get a warning - however not on the thevenusproject.com domain, but on a completely different (and highly suspicious one, I’d say) domain.
I didn’t check any further, but it doesn’t look like a false alarm to me.
The site was hacked around the 9th of December and probably got the infection. Then it was down for 1 day and the hosting provider (godaddy) said they had cleaned up the malicious things, and we upgraded to latest version of the CMS.
Not other software is showing the site containing any malicious url, also that url checking from totalvirus says it’s clean. Is there anybody could point too (if is) where is the redirection being produced?
At the end of this file, it appears as though there is a long script on one line that doesn’t seem to belong there…
However I could be wrong, and would like an avast! team member to confirm/deny…

EDIT: Judging from the results of the latest test, it would appear that I was correct. See how the code unpacks to the site that is in the network shield alert.
Also, I will report this to avast! since the web shield hasn’t caught the script, as is usually the case.
Regardless of whether someone has got there first and shut down the site, avast! still blocks the attempt to connect. How can avast! know? Better to be safe than sorry.
