Green Xenon Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Hi: When I go to http://sparkingtech.com/tech-sci-news/researchers-create-worlds-fastest-internet-connection my AVG software gives an alert: "Threat detected!" "File name: sparkingtech.com/tech-sci-news/researchers-create-worlds-fastest-internet-connection" "Threat name: Exploit Javascript Obsfuscation (type 905)" Below this it is underlined "More information about the threat" Below that there is, "Process name: C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe" and "Process ID: 2776" I click the underlined text "More information about the threat". I am then taken to http://free.avg.com/us-en/virbase?idn=%40EID_Id_exp I then search the threat "Exploit Javascript Obsfuscation (type 905)" and the search results are "We did not find any virus in the Virus Encyclopedia. Please try to use a more generic name at least 3 characters long." What's going on here? Thanks a bunch, Green
StringJunky Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 When I clicked on your link it was flagged by Google as an attack site. Here's the link to why it was blocked. I would imagine this information relating to risky sites is shared, hence it being flagged by your AVG, Google and probably others: http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?client=Firefox&hl=en-GB&site=http://sparkingtech.com/tech-sci-news/researchers-create-worlds-fastest-internet-connection
