    I had my work computer on today, for the first time in a couple of weeks, and opened up STW, just for quick browsing, and IE threw up a warning; “High Risk Website Blocked: s7.addthis.com/static/r07/core126.js.” ” ‘Mal/Badsrc-C’ has been detected”
    Anyone else seen this? A quick Google seems to show it’s a site supplying illegitimate software purporting to be spyware removal: http://www.removespywaretrojan.com/s7-addthis-com-malware-virus-removal-guide-how-to-get-rid-of-s7-addthis-com-malware-immediately/

    Yes, it’s already been signalled. I used to get AVG warnings about a flash thing too.

    Edit: there is a free fix for this but I would be breaking the rules to say more. I hope this edit isn’t breaking the rules.

    Ah, right, cheers for that. Not noticed it before, work is pretty heavily warded against naughty stuff, due to nature of business, all it seems to be doing is slowing scripts down, but otherwise blocked, I hope.
    Not sure I want to fess up to my web browsing…
    Not noticed any issues at home, mostly using the Pad anyway.
