Trojan horse on AW?

I suspect it's one of these pop-up ads which exploit iFrames and the Popup for PMs.

It may be that Avast is reacting to a link or an image on a post, so if you could provide me more data via email or PM, that would be helpful.

There isn't malware on AW itself.

By the way—in general in such instances, a screen cap of the alert from an antimalware app or the popup or the URL is always really really helpful.

Not as "proof," but because there are databases of the popup images I can search which often indicate sources etc. and a URL or link maybe related to a link or an image in a post that an unknowing member used that in fact goes to a malware site.

That last is fairly common, but tracking down the post/link can be difficult.

... here's Norton's report:

I use five different scanning services to scan AW, in addition to using a server OS that has very few opportunities for malware hosting or delivery.

We're not running IIs for a reason.

No problem. I had a feeling you guys were clean.

But I'd still like to track it to its source.

There are a number of private mailing lists for ISPs and Sys Admins where we share data about this stuff, and I still share with former colleagues (stripping personal information about users, of course) because a cleaner 'net is better for everyone.
