Blackhole Exploit Kit (type 1889)
- Thread starter suffolklad

I had this pop up yesterday and today. Both times it was just after I logged in to Hotmail, using Chrome.
I googled it too and found a few posts dating as far back as June last year but no answers.....

An ex-girlfriend messaged me last night to say she had this on her screen. I advised her to run malwarebytes.
Just had it on my own screen while browsing Ebay (with Facebook open in the background) - I've a strong suspicion it may be a false positive but worth keeping an eye on.

yes i searched avg virus data base does not say anything about it , yet avg picked it up said it had stopped it
well funny you say ebay i was on there when it popped up
....... and just had it again while reading an Ebay message on my Hotmail.
I suspect that its something to do with a flagged site that Ebay uses to push their crap and advertising.
I could be wrong though ....

hi sleeper are you using avg 2011 free addition too
We're using AVG free, but I did not have eBay open or have any message from eBay in my inbox when the warning messages popped up. I did have Facebook open tho!
I found it strange too that although AVG found the problem, there is absolutely no info on their site about it.

Symantec say
Be a good idea if the bona fide AV progs offered a little sandbox to show just how they report different problems - I am guessing lots of people get caught by malware AV progs because they simply have no idea how their bona fide AV prog screens a notification when something potentially bad has been found or is about to happen !!
Not that this is relevant here, just a thought.
