    Since this morning every page of MG that I open, I get either three (initially) or two (subsequently) Anti Virus threat warnings from ESET NOD 32 (my AV suite).
    It is for trojan downloader Pegel.BH.
    Here is the link to ESET's info about Pegel that they link me to in the report.

    ESET's action is to clean and delete temporary files immediately which is how I have set it up.

    Have other people been getting this? If yes when did it start?
    I have done several virus and malware scans and my systems are clean and virus free so I am wondering if it is being loaded with some new page content. Even when I clicked new post to start this thread, when the new page opened I got a warning immediately after the page loaded.
    Cheers

    I suspected something in the false positive vein but wasn't sure if anyone else was having the same problem.

    The things deleted from the page by ESET are the three social media buttons.
    It doesn't really bother me as I know I am safe but it is annoying closing each warning notification and I don't want to turn notifications off as then I wouldn't know something has been deleted as I have ESET set to delete immediately;)
    When I get some time I will have a more serious look into what is happening...... I don't know.... work is encroaching on my free time.... I guess it is good to be really busy and being paid but I could do with a break lol ;)

    I use NOD 32 and haven't gotten any warnings. I block social media buttons on websites, though, so maybe that why.

    Thanks Laura I used to block them on MGs until recently....maybe I will start doing it again.
    I use NOD 32 and Endpoint and previously haven' ever had any issues... but I guess there is always a first time ;)

    ESET updates its virus signature file several times a day and it just updated its virus signature file and the problem appears to be resolved. I've done nothing else except run an MBAM scan which was clean and a NOD32 deep scan which was also clean so I draw the conclusion that someone at ESET has found a problem and rectified it in the next update.

    See the new screenshot below and the social media buttons are back in the top right corner where they usually live and no more virus warnings.
    Thanks Eldon and Laura for replying :)
