Re: MALWARE DETECTED
Yep, I got that this morning too.
It's basically an included frame (ad related?) that has served up malware. Since I block all ads anyway, all I did was additionally block the frame itself ("bruceobtain.in") and ran a malware check on the PC.
Those of you who don't block ad content may like to give you PC a fumigation.

Re: MALWARE DETECTED
On Chrome or Firefox you can run Adblock Plus http://adblockplus.org
No idea about IE (but then again, you really shouldn't run that).
I think there is similar for safari.

It's an automatic reaction to MS and security. Now maybe they have improved, and maybe they have paid to have a positive result publicised - but bitter experience has taught to not trust them if you can possibly help it.

Microsoft have improved. The bigger weakesses are Java, Flash, Acrobat and other plugins.

Re: MALWARE DETECTED
I've alerted tech about this. If you could post in the Site Feedback thread it will help them to have the reports all in one thread.
Thank you and sorry for the hassle.
