x10hosting favicon detected?

Viruses and worms

I’m not sure if it’s a false positive, but http://x10hosting.com which is a legitimate site is reporting a threat. When I visit it, avast dings twice so i think the site has been hack-inserted. Can anyone confirm this?

Edit: Make that 3 dings.
Edit2: From a further analysis, it detects that 7 items on the page, including the stylesheet, are infected.

As x10hosting is a shared domain, I’d imagine that many of its subdomains are used maliciously. Thus, avast! blacklists all these sites.

If you’re going to buy a domain, I recommend you use Media Template, Host Gator, or even WordPress.com. The use of a x10hosting site isn’t worth it.

Well I’m only 15 and don’t really have the funds. My domain shows no red alerts though, and I have my own stylesheets and all.

Hi Tyler,

I am 14 and I own my own site (http://donovanglover.com). I used my own money. 15$ yearly for the domain and ~$10 monthly for hosting.

Seriosuly though, the amount of threats on the site has risen from 9 to 17? What the heck?
