Almost all links I click on (even sites like IMDB) result in 'Mal/HTML Gen-A'

ea210

Hi All,

As the title states, all links I click on on pretty much 90% of trusted websites result in the 'High risk website blocked' text box appearing with the following:

'Acces has been blocked to "def.jpisyncer.info/worker/init.js" as 'Mal/HTML Gen-A' has been found at this website.

I find it unusual that this is happening on a lot of sites I visit, again, ones that are highly trust worthy. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Just wanted to say thanks once for helping out. I think I may have found the problem.

    I also ran chrome without plugins and extensions and it turns out that when I do, the problem goes away. I found an extension that I didn't recognise 'Codecv', and it didn't have any ligitmate logos or affiliations, et voila, when I disabled it the problem went away. 

    I found this description on the net of the bug;

    'CodecV Hijacker is an infection which can take over and change your browser’’’’s default home page, redirect the search results of Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines to some malicious page, constantly harass you system with countless pop-ups and ads, slow down you internet speed and make your system run like snails. Obviously, CodecV Hijacker degrades you PC performance seriously and makes you computer be full of system vulnerabilities, giving an easy access for the hackers. CodecV Hijacker is associated with browser hijackers and rootkit infections such as ZeroAccess rootkit, Google Results Hijacker, Google Redirect Hijacker, etc. What’’’’s worse, CodecV Hijacker can track your web browser’’’’s activities to collect your confidential information without consent and send them to the offenders, who aim at gaining profit from you. Besides, it is capable of escaping from the detection of anti-virus program and firewalls.'

    Is it the case that Sophos can't detect this bug? I ran a full scan last night and the only anomaly it came up with was that 4 items couldnt be accessed.

    Anyway, thanks again!
