Hi all. When I visit www.altereagles.co.uk, a
little site I created for my band I get a
warning from AVG Free Edition that a threat
called "Exploit MDAC ActiveX control
execution (type 269)" relating to a file
called 'www.altereagles.co.uk/favicon.ico'
has been detected.
I've checked the site as best I can with
MacAfee Site Advisor and Exploit Prevention
Labs' online tools, but the truth is I don't
really know if there's anything funny going
on or if it's just AVG being over
enthusiastic. Google tells me this warning
relates to pages that MIGHT allow some
ActiveX nastiness, rather than those that
definitely contain something horrid...but
since I haven't done anything I'm aware of,
I'm a bit stumped.
Anyone - gulp - fancy taking their PC in
their hands and having a look? I'd be
especially interested to hear from PC users
running something other than AVG to see if
they get a message.
Hope someone can help,
rob
