    We have seen about 3 or 4 machines today (out of 130) with this alert. It looks like a false positive to me, but I could be wrong.

    I've been seeing a whole bunch. I've tried contacting ESET with no luck... but we should expect that I guess. Do you think this is an FP? Should we be worried?

    Also,the logs are catching this from some reputable sites too which is odd. Which is why i am thinking it is an FP.

    Marcos,
    I don't have a sample. Is it ok to post the link to the pages it's catching it on?

    thats normal...
    lots of legit websites are being hacked and a iframe is inserted to redirect the user to another page to download a malicous file.

    the links are pretty deep into 411.com and whitepages.com i didn't want to post the direct link to avoid cross contamination.

    one more quick update. I was speaking with one of my users who I know does not surf any crazy sites and he told me got the error when he was browsing to boston.com or possibly the wallstreetjournal.com or wsj.com These sites are pretty reputable. So I am starting to think this is a FP.

    It is actually http://afe.specificclick.net/ that is blocked . It (its IP) has been placed on the list with sites with potentially dangerous content . I can't comment if this site deserves or deserves not to be blocked .

    This does look like it could be a FP. I am noticing it from several of our machines here. It appears to be triggered by ads on legit websites. all the links I am seeing look like they have something to do with afe.specificclick.net. The links always reference the site where they came from. One example i have seen from whitepages.com

    hxxp://afe.specificclick.net/?l=1841631040&sz=728x90&wr=j&t=j&u=http://www.whitepages.com/maps&r=http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&q=area+code+map&btnG=Google+Search&rnd=209674&uid=4iQ6pZ14p4tX1C

    The site will be removed from the blacklist, but it'll be added again if another piece of malware turns out to be exploiting it.

    I've been getting phone calls about this all morning, on vrbo.com and other news sites, definitely related to specificclick.net ads, but is a false positive as I'm not seeing any exploit code on those actual links, just a netflix ad in one case
