I think the Escapist is giving me a trojan -- what do?

[Unesh52]

So every time I load a page from the Escapist, Avast warns me that a threat has been detected. I ran a quick scan, found nothing. Ran a boot time scan (twice for various unimportant reasons), and found a ton of viruses. Deleted everything I found, but I still get the warning every time I load any pages from the Escapist. I'm not getting any warnings when I visit other web pages though.

According to the infection details Avast gave me, the offending url was:

http://kyoka.gaikai.com/Kyoka/php/kyokaApp.js.php?v

Wasn't the ad service the Escapist was using called Gaikai? The one with the big animated pop-ups that flash across the screen?

Oh, and if it helps, this is what it told me the "infection" was.

I don't know what to do.

I'm getting the same warnings. Avast tells me the trojan was blocked so I shouldn't worry, but I'm going to do a full scan tonight.

The Escapist appears to be getting a second-hand Trojan via it's ad displays. I'd suggest immediate action on the part of the Escapist crew, and then tell everyone to do a full virus-scan when it's blown over.

The internet. It is srs bzns.

darn... looked for help on this and found this thread. kinda was hoping I was the only one. Don't seem to actually be receiving the virus though. its getting blocked by avast.

Looks like I'm not getting the virus warning anymore. Crisis averted?

This has happened on the Escapist before from the same source, their ads.

Guess the trojan dudes are sneaky, or...
