My Kapersky keeps throwing up that there is a trojan virus attached to Mumsnet that keeps trying to download when I change pages.

Can someone investigate please?

Yikes. Thanks very much for letting us know. It's probably attached to an ad, so if you have any idea which ad you think it might be, please could you post here or email us?

Hi guys

I'm looking into this virus for you. I'm trying to work out which ad it is and unfortunately I have no way of telling.

But you might be able to help me narrow it down, could you tell me which page you were on when your anti virus alert came through? (typically it's probably going to be a ros ad!)

I'd imagine your anti-virus software will block the ad anyway so you wont see it. But i'll ask anyway, any ideas which ad is causing it?

Any info would be useful.

If it's easier, feel free to email me on [email protected]

Apparently this isn't a virus, it's a fault with the Kapersky anti-virus software and it will be fixed when they next release an update. For more information from Kapersky, see here:
