Mal/HTML Gen-A malware

wabisabi · September 2013

Hi

Just this evening Sophos has started warning me that Mal/HTML Gen-A has been found on this site (the popup mentions that access to "test-host.biz" has been blocked).

This thread on the Sophos site might be relevant http://community.sophos.com/t5/Sophos-EndUser-Protection/Mal-HTML-Gen-A-false-positive/m-p/37745

Thanks

Hi Wabisabi

Thanks for this.

Can you tell me if you saw the alert on AAT.org.uk or on the actual forums?

Regards

Hi Christian

Only on the Forums - the main site is okay. I get it every time I visit / refresh / navigate the forums.

Thanks

Thanks Wabisabi, obviously this is something we'll take seriously and look to remedy asap.

Thank you for taking the time to report it.

I'm still getting the warning - is it just me?

i did see my browser go to test-host.biz one night and though it was quite suspicious but Avast did not flag it up. Hope my pc is not now infected?
