Trojan horse "Exploit SWF_c

Mods

My AVG shield has detected this Trojan horse three times tonight whilst viewing Pprune. Not found on any other site so wonder if it is one of the side adverts?

Hope this info helps...

I use an adblocker (etc) so I don't see the ads, but is your flash player up to date?

I've tried the site in IE, tried it while adblocker and noscript disabled in Firefox (my default browser) and can't get a virus warning.

I submitted the url to virustotal. The results came back clean.

Don't know what could be causing it in your case.
What's the full detection alert? (The full file name and path)
