JS/Redir
I've been gone for a couple days for work, and I returned to a reoccurring notification from AVG of a threat, JS/Redir. It is a cache sub-file located in the Profile file for Firefox in the User Folder, and it only occurs when using Firefox. Even when quarantined it will immediately reappear when using FF. The quirk is it only appears to happen here at this forum.
Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and Spybot are all negative.
System Restore is turned off for the time being.
Google does not make a firm reference to it specifically just along with other variants. I went to a few forums that appear on the report I am not familiar with. They make suggestions of downloading certain software to remove it. AVG encyclopedia doesn't even reference it.
I am wondering if this may be a false positive.
Firefox 3.6.7 was released today. I think I am going to try the upgrade before anything else.
My temperament is not good right now so I am going slow on this.
