Default Re: Virus detected in above link....

I clicked too soon. It is indeed a Trojan.

From Symantic AntiVirus after following that link:

Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan
Event: Threat Found!
Threat: Trojan Horse
File: XXX
Location: XXX
Computer: XXX
User: XXX
Action taken: Clean failed : Quarantine failed : Access denied

I wonder if this has something to do with some people having the latest critical updates, which browser they are using, virus software, etc.

I've seen the file name you gave, but what is the actual name of the Trojan according to Symantec?

It seems to me like this might be an issue of the browser trying to keep itself on top of all the other windows, which is exactly what that flash does. Possibly Symantec anti-virus overreacts to this? Has anyone out there who isn't running Symantec received a virus warning?

I have a lot of protection running (all updated), and I've seen nothing. Then again, I'm also using Firefox.
If someone could track down the actual name of this alleged trojan, it would make things a bit easier.
