RRS Trojan??? A little help please.
Every time I log on to RRS, my Kaspersky gives me an alert that it detects a Trojan. Every thing I click on a link, it gives me the same message. I'm not super tech savvy but I'm not greenhorn either.
Here's the detailed report. What's going on here?

thanks! this is a recent development so I'm not sure what's happening. I haven't made any significant software changes recently.

Exploit.JS.Pdfka.* is a JavaScript exploit often associated with PDF files. I don't see any javascript of the sort associated with this exploit being loaded with this site.
There are several possibilities that come to mind for me:
well I cleared the cache but only for one day. I wasn't sure if I should clear the whole history or not. these are things I rarely concern myself with so I don't know that much about it.
I'm guessing it's a false positive since the application listed in the notification is Mozilla.exe (i.e. firefox itself) or am I wrong? I performed a full scan this weekend so I don't think I'm infected.
so, should i clear the whole cache history? will that just increase initial loading times on some webpages or will it affect anything else?
Nuke the whole cache (which is not your history, that's just a list of URLs you've loaded before, not the contents). It will slow loading on some web pages until the cache is filled again.
Do another scan. I know they're a pain, but under Windows your really can't be too cautious.

No, this is a problem with the RRS site.
I have the same problem with Avast warning me. It only happens here. Nowhere else. It also only happens occasionally.
This didn't happen before. When I abort the connection the page still loads, so it leads me to thinking that it is due to one of the advertising banners put up.
Theism is why we can't have nice things.
My firefox keeps crashing here due to "data execution prevention"
I got the warning today from avast using IE.
I sent it off to the guy who would be looking into it.
I also got this later from some dickface...
Hey, Thanks for sending me the Trojan! Luckily Kaspersky blocked it for me. Your email is now blocked and I'll be sure to let everyone know that your emails might contain malicious software. Peace.

Ok the problem was looked into. It was related to a tracking code that one of my developers installed to track a few of my stalkers. I had him remove it for now, my antivirus didn't pick anything up this time. I assure you it was nothing but a tracking device that caused no harm to any computer.
Let me know if it has gone away for you.
