player list / message log and Norton

[pete]

when i open the player list and message log, Norton Internet Security gives me this warning:

"Threats found: 2
Here is a complete list:
Threat Name: Trojan.Malscript!html
Location: http:// mikedave.webfactional.com/sarah/



Threat Name: Trojan.Malscript!html
Location: http:// mikedave.webfactional.com/codd/careers.php "

started Thursday
probably nothing but i thought it was worth mentioning

EDIT: by using the info.hgweb.org listings Norton no problem at all

Nothing coming up for me and I've a few security programs running that normally scream if anything is wrong.

The addresses you quote are not the normal ones which are :

hgweb.acaos.webfactional.com/info/messagelog.html or info.hgweb.org/messagelog.html
hgweb.acaos.webfactional.com/info/playerlist.html or info.hgweb.org/playerlist.html

Have you tried typing in the above manually?

those are the pages i go to and get this message saying "known security risks" and lists the quoted info above

didnt know what to make of it so thought i should post

Looks to me like norton is saying that because mikedave.webfactional.com is an infected site, all of webfactional.com (including hgweb) should be avoided, since it, too, is probably infected. This is, of course, a load of hooey, and should be ignored, since webfactional.com hosts a great many unrelated sites. Just don't go to the actual pages it lists.
