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.

    I just figured out a way to have all websites and downloads unblocked by Sophos (just be careful as ALL websites and downloads are unblocked). I'm using a Macbook Air (OS X 10.8.3 if you really want to know...)

    This is what I did:

    1. Open Applications.

    2. Find 'Sophos Anti-Virus' and open it (or just search it in the Spotlight).

    3. Click on 'Sophos Anti-Virus' in the menu bar (next to the apple).

    4. Scroll down and click on 'Preferences' (or ⌘ Command + ,).

    5. Click on the lock on the bottom left. This requires you to type in an administrator's name and password.

    6. Click on 'Web Protection' in the toolbar.

    7. Click on 'General' (if not already in General).

    8. Click on the top Off-On slider to 'Off' to unblock access to "malicious websites."

    9. Click on the bottom Off-On slider to 'Off' to unblock access to "malicious downloads" from websites.

    These are the descriptions of the sliders:

    Top slider:

    "Block access to malicious websites using realtime URL reputation checks. This feature protects your Mac from sites identified to be hosting malicious content, or representing a significant security concern."

    Bottom slider:

    "Block malicious downloads from websites, protecting your Mac from obfuscated, polymorphic and zero-day threats before reaching your browser."
