    After I updated NOD 32 is blocking websites like messenger-friends.com, hm.com, gmx.net....

    Why? Did I miss some in the config?

    Odds are they are serving malicious banner ads that are trying to use the recently disclosed Adobe PDF exploit.

    You can temporarily disable HTTP scanning or add an exclusion, but be aware that there is a substantial risk that you system will become infected from visiting. An easy workaround would be to install Adblock+ if you are using Firefox or some IE analog so ad frames are loaded on a page and the AV filter doesn't have to flag anything.

    I am getting the same note. I do not think that there is a virus or so, because I am getting the same note on the hm.com and gmx.net and those are big companies.

    Sorry, I forgot to enable web access protection :) We're on the ball. I'm not sure if it's a fp or not, but there must have been a reason for blacklisting it. Update: it's been blacklisted since July 20, 2009.

    Let us know, as it develops, Marcos. Though I am not surprised to see an iframe exploit on a site such as xxx.messenger-friends.com

    What specific URL @ Wired ? Be sure to obfuscate your postback link !
    Example: http://[b]xxx[/b].wired.com/

    The iframed link doesn't work anymore so it looks highly suspicious that it used to be a legit site. It could be that the server's been compromised recently and malware added the already non-functional iframed link to existing html files.

    If you are getting flags from NOD32 visiting Wired.com, please post back the links as to where this is happening. A Moderator or I will fix them immediately so no one else runs the risk of getting a possible infection.

    The iframed link will be removed from the blacklist. If it starts working and turns out to contain malicious code, it'll be blacklisted permanently.
