According to my virus checker there is a virus on the
BOINC Statistics for the WORLD! site
It wants me to run a program on my computer.
Obviously I did not allow it.

Just went there, can't repro that. But I'll forward a note to Zain.

Sorry. I should have been more specific.
The site I was trying to enter was the individual report.
The link is:
http://www.boincsynergy.com/stats/boinc-individual.php?cpid=6e740ac0f82f8dcdaf05168c782aee7c

That is where I look up my position

I still cannot get to that website. Every time I go there Windows Internet Explorer stops me and says there is a malicious virus on that page. then it closes it down.
I am not familiar with FF with ad blocker. What is that? And how can I get it?

Ok, I see what you mean. My AntiVir throws a warning about the external site it tries to download this PDF file from. The web site with the problem is http://x-skip.cn

You may want to block that one.

Virus or unwanted program 'HTML/Malicious.PDF.Gen [virus]'
detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ageless.RUBA\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\EYVU5AV1\002[1].pdf.
Action performed: Deny access

.pdf is the only extension. what AV (antivirus) you using? has anyone downloaded this pdf and actually scanned it properly? not just with a resident shield? If it does contain anything bad then the link should be removed even if an advertisement. if x-skip.cn is valid and not going to harm your computer then report this to your antivirus company or x-skip itself so they dont loose valuable people browsing the site due to a false detection.

I just tried to visit the site (main page) and the PDF file launched without permission and crashed Adobe and Firefox.

The PDF file came from x-skip.cn

I've been with BOINC Synergy for several years but I'll have to leave if I can't visit the page without an infected PDF file loading.

Info from Mc Afee's Site Advisor?!
Had to translate the info, please don't pay (too much) attention, to my
(endless) typos and grammar faults and I wouldn't pay to much attention to this Site Advisor, anyway. For people with no WEB-Browsing experience, it may have it's use.

A 'trusted' AV program, which is updated on a regular basis, certainly is required, these day's

Thank you for the reply. I have appropriate protection so there was no harm done in my case.

Granted, end users who get infected bear most of the responsibility but a site admin should also take quick action when an infection is being relayed through their site and/or advertising. That was the reason for my original post.

It appears that the offending file is gone at this time.

Thanks again.
