Websites with Trojans

[Commerce Brian]

Someone sent a link to the britecorp directory for link exchange - so I set off in Mozilla as normal, to see if the site was legit and including a backlink.
 
 Then I opened up IE and pasted in the URL, just to make sure the domain wasn't banned - and McAfee promptly declared that a Trojan had tried to infect my machine: JS/Keylog-Briss.Idr
 
 Naughty naughty, animeim.com.

In one of those 'why the hell did I do that?' moments I just typed the url into my browser to see whether AVG antivirus would spot anything. I got an IE prompt that kept asking me to click yes, but I didn't, even though it wouldn't let me view the site unless I said yes.  AVG didn't give me any alerts so it's possible I could have got myself into a bit of trouble

Sorry about that - I wanted to "name and shame" rather than endanger.
 
 I'm not sure what the Trojan is - I'm guessing that JS means JavaScript, and thus it's installed through a JaveScript prompt - so if you didn't click "yes" then I should suspect no foul.
 
 Even if you did get infected, as the site is AIM orientated, I'd figure it's for compromising user machines via their AIM connections, so I'd probably recommend not using AIm for a little while, until you're sure.
 
 I *know* there are some good online Virus checkers available, but I can't think of any at the moment.
 
 NOTE: just checked the Symantec site - try this:
 http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym

Hey, it wasn't your fault!  Anyway, I scanned my pc using AVG and the Symantec online thing and as far as I can tell it's clean.

www.SubProfiles.com had something similiar to this. They only allowed IE, however...
