618888 2007-12-07 21:48:00 When I try to open the website shown, from within the email received, AVG picks up the above titled virus.

www.genebooks.com

It has been put in the avg vault.

This site: bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com is where it was sent from.

Any clues.

Thanks,

Lurks.

618889 2007-12-07 21:55:00 Hmm strange that it says hack-shop.org.ru on the bottom of Firefox.

When its loading

I wouldnt go there.

Could be a false +

Update Java if it isnt the latest version.

And run ccleaner.

And make sure IE whatever version you've got (if this is what you use), is fully patched.

618891 2007-12-07 22:13:00 Just tried the links as well, in FF & Safari & IE - All appeared to open fine - no pop ups from any antivirus / spyware saying "site infected" prob as Speedy said False positive. wainuitech (129)
618892 2007-12-07 22:20:00 But yup, Avast I think would let me know if there was a virus or something.

Since it scans sites, and scans files you download. And it didnt bring anything up.
