Infected file on GenesReunited

You don't need to click on the links for it to try and infect you, just accessing the GR webpage can cause the problem.

Well, I'm fairly confident that my security systems here are pretty good, so yesterday I paid a visit to GR - I no longer subscribe, so I could only access the public bits.

Nothing bad happened, either during or since my visit.  I can only suspect that the GR site is somehow triggering malware which was there all along.

well, I also went on there and yes, I too got a virus message

HTML:Iframe-inf

My on-access protection also picked up the associated  trojan first  before I got the above infection message.

my anti-virus dealt with it but seems like GR is being hijacked or something but I don't have a problem with any other site - and didn't prior to visiting GR this morning.

I didn't hang around long enough to see if there was any advertising on the home page. Could be an inserted ad which is not controlled by GR that is causing a problem.

I have just been on GR and have had no such message at all

It is not unusual for Genes Reunited Support people not to respond to emails from customers.  If this happens it normally means they can't find anything wrong but their policy seems to be that they do not tell customers that.

I suggest that you re-run your security programs in safe mode as the implication from the link is that something is buried deep in your registry and it can only be removed when in safe mode.

Well,

The first time I got the message, I was using IE7 then I just tried it with Firefox... no errors at all.

Then I tried it with Advent. I got the same error twice, and the top GR banner was then blocked.  So it most definitely is something to do with GR

So how come most people do not get an error?  I've tried to get this error and I can't. 

Let us apply some logic to this problem.

What security are you using?

It seems to be an anti-virus program that is either falsely or rightly reporting that there is an error.

If you temporarily disable your security program will you still get the message?

GR have just replied to my email, asking what Security I use and what type of warning I am receiving.

In the last two days, I have had Warning Messages three times while trying to use GR, but have also accessed it about five times without any Warning Messages appearing ...how  odd

Are you joking? That would  surely let something in , if it wanted to get in.
