Anyone else receiving a warning of a Trojan from the Piston Head homepage? I receive it (using NOD32) once all the banners and ads have loaded, not before. The Trojan in question is:

JS/Tivso.14a.gen

I'll contact PistonHeads and ESET (producers of NOD32) shortly.

Regards

Very little online, seems to always appear with nod32 only. Could be a false positive.

Do the usual just to be sure.

I've moved this into the website feedback forum as someone will pick it up soon.

I must confess I've no issues on my machine (with Symantec). Although - considering the millions of hits the homepage gets if there is a problem I'm suprised it's not been reported until now.

Anyone else running NOD32 that can check?

It would appear highly likely that it is a false positive. There is little via Google but one posting alludes to similar behaviour from NOD32 on another site. I have contacted ESET and will report back on what they say. I have Norton 360 on my laptop and will fire that up shortly to see what it shows - nothing I suspect.

PS Just opened the website on my laptop running Norton 360 with the latest updates and no warning flagged up.

ESET confirm that it is a false positive. Now corrected with an update that as of 01:10 on 1st July corrects the problem.
