    I've created a few sites using serif webplus. It works fine in firefox but in ie I keep getting an alert from AVG relating to a html/framer. Does anyone know why this is happening??



    happens on another site



    I've deleted it n uploaded it to my domain, this stops the AVG warning for a day or so but then it just comes back again.

    Also, , it's been blocked by google. This is the second time this has happened. I deleted the old site off it and just uploaded a holding page. Was grand for the last few weeks n now its blocked again.. What the bananas is going on!?!

    There shouldn't be anything that I'm aware of...

    If u go directly to one of the sites pages its fine. It's just the home pages that are the problem

    It appears that there's an iFrame injected into one of your sites which goes to xb6 .ru (do not go there!!) and this site hosts and probably distributes malware via the sites it infects. It probably has infected the other sites (I did not check)

    I suggest you edit your posts and remove the links. DONE Anybody else going there might also pick it up. (I used an ancient browser.) zAbbo you'd be wise to do some scans.

    If it works like gumblar, you'll need to do something like this: remove all of your site's contents (contact your host blacknight if you have problems here), clean your pc's for malware, viruses and maybe adware using the most up to date versions, I suggest you follow the instructions in this sticky "I think I have a virus" - Please Read & Try BEFORE Posting (Updated 04/06/09), then change passwords for loading content to your site from a clean pc which is not on your network (could go to a cybercafe). Then upload a clean version of the site which has no iframes.

    You've probably visited an infected site which has downloaded some malware to your pc, then it has grabbed your sites' ftp details and injected the iframe call into parts of those sites waiting for the next sucker to come by. That's how gumblar works, this sounds similar but I can't be sure as I'm not risking my own pc to do a full check.

    Hth and good luck.

    Some good advice there.

    I'm on my mac, don't think I'm at risk.

    Weird, I created the site on a laptop with a fresh install of Windows 7, hadn't even been online when I did the site.. Eitherway I'll take it down, wipe the laptop and rebuild the site...

    Thanks for the advice.. I did have malware on the laptop, no idea how it got there.. Did a good few scans to make sure I got rid n changed my FTP logon details etc and redid the sites... So far so good..
