Airiq
Hi im new to Sophia and I wanted to see if the site Checkwebsitesafe.com was a safe site. When checked virus total, it said tha Sophos said it was malicious. I checked other safe URL checking sites and most said it was fine. Only Anubis malware said it was bad. This is the link to the scan report-http://anubis.iseclab.org/?action=result&task_id=15d6e5628029555a4898bdb3d425733ee&format=html and I had a discussion on the clamxav forums which has more info-http://www.markallan.co.uk/BB/viewtopic.php?t=2916&sid=0cc1a50ada0196e8889b07191719ae88 thanks if someone can help me out with this

    Hi,

    Do you get it with a different web browser? 

    You don't mention what browser you use, Chrome, FireFox, IE?  Whichever you use and get it on, can you try a different browser?

    I would also try disabling all plugins in the browser where you get the problem, to see if that helps:

    Chrome:

    Navigate to:

    chrome://plugins/

    Firefox:

    Firefox - Add-ons

    IE

    Settings - Manage Add-ons

    Regards,

    Jak

    Also if someone is able to, could they explain the report from Anubis? All I know is that it's something about iexplore.exe.Note: it is missing a r because the browser Internet explorer is iexplorer.exe and not iexplore.exe

    Hello sandy, i am sorry to have not been able to say this,but I found my answer myself. I emailed a worker from Anubis and I also scanned other sites. These sites all came up with the same three warnings as well as iexplore.exe I gues that was just to show their browser even though It was missing an r I believe. I am able to assume that I don't ave any malware unless someone else has an idea. Thanks for the help. (I am still looking for an answer about my laptop and the incident)

    Pending checks on the contents of this post, we've moved it. I'm happy to reserve judgement on whether there really is  a Mal/HTMLGen-A infection in the content quoted, but as SophosTalk community manager, I can't put the community at risk.

    Hi,

    This issue has been technically resolved, and I've put Rogerborg's original post back into the EndUser Protection board. For reasons explained in that thread, the post has moved to:
