Kaspersky detects a Trojan when opening a PPRuNe page

When I open a page or thread my anti virus detects and denies a Trojan.

Most of us use AddBlocker and NoScript so we never try to open those URLs from PPRuNe anyway

Thanks guys.

My AV is up to date so it looks like Kaspersky haven't run a fix yet.

Yup, had this issue yesterday (25th) with other websites that use javascript.

Am using F-Secure, but they use multiple engines in their software, one of which is Kaspersky, hence I'm concurring with others who say it's a a false positive now.

Refresh your AV definitions.... F-Secure refrefreshes itself every hour or so and it didn't take long for the issue to disappear.
