Today I'm getting , every time I open autosport.com, the following message from my Antivirus software..

''HTML infected webpage Gen2''

Are these are coming from the autosport.com page???

i had a similar thing last night but the page appeared to be misbehaving....using my normal browser shortcut was opening a page that was basically a gallery page with the Paddy Power banner ad (i'm non-subscriber now), but when i clicked on any of the images it was diverting to a Paddy Power page, so i don't know if that was actually one of their pages or a hijack page or something. I did a Ccleaner clearout and deleted cookies and it seemed to clear the problem, but it felt like a temporary hijack of the homepage tbh....

ETA this was google chrome browser and AVG anti-virus - i did get an AVG warning flag against the homepage once, closed it and re-opened and it did the stuff listed above.

I had a warning the other day. It seemed to come from a style sheet. I'm using Firefox and Avast antivirus.

Using Imageshack I'm getting a pop-up with what I'm interpreting as a bait/bogus "you have a virus - click here to fix" message.
No way, Jose - clicking on something like that is for suckers; but what it is I have no idea, as all malware/virus protection (Microsoft, Malwarebytes & AVG) are up to date and scans show nothing.
There's something weird going on there, though - and I'm going to change to Freeimagehosting.net
