    I visited basketball-reference.com today and later saw this listed in my threat log-

    Time Module Object Name Threat Action User Information
    2/22/2007 17:06:21 PM IMON file hXXp://www.basketballreference.com/favicon.ico Win32/Nimda.A worm Connection terminated NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

    Is there any way to see if this was a false positive? I visit that site every once in a while and wanted to let the site admins know of the possible infection.

    ISince the connection was terminated you most likely don't have the file in your browser cache so there is no way to find it off your computer.

    Although NOD32 really rarely produces false positive alarms , if you do suspect a FP , send an email to ESET Tech Support with a subject "Possible false positive" and a link to this thread in the message body ;)

    One thing, I have had NOD32 warn me of a malicious web site before by popping up a red warning message. With this there was no warning at all. And even though it says "terminated" I can't remember that happening. Had I not checked the threat log I never would have known this all took place. Is it normal for NOD not to issue a warning when trying to open a malicious web page?
