    Just posting thie because I know some people use it to get their 'Linux distros'. A muppet went to that site here in work (ffs) and all of a sudden us uber-admins got a few emails with the subject - "Virus Alert"!

    It seems the site is infected with Download-AAI. It's a spyware/adware/hijacker downloader.

    Best protection from it is to add www_dot_pacimedia_dot_com to your hosts file with an address of 127.0.0.1 and update your AV boys and girls.

    User is not infected. I can guarantee that. The alerts were admin alerts that the virus had been detected and cleaned.

    And according to the poxy logs it was the only site he'd visited today.

    And yes - IE is our corporate standard unfortunately.
