Hello,

I have this issue on my site http://www.west-point.nl. Several people reported a virus on our site. They all used Internet Explorer and their virus scanners varied from Nod 32 / Esets 8 to Norton Internet Security.

The report this:
S/Kryptik.P trojan
Angler Exploit Kit Flash Download 2

Google webmaster tools doesn't find anything. Maldet fount some 'suspicious files' in some modules, but nothing serious and various other scans with RsFirewall and an external scanner show nothing. I also can't replicate the error on my own computer...

I am a bit clueless what to do, but as far as I can find out the base64 is the 'only' suspicious thing on the frontpage.

My questions:
Is it possible virusscanners on (older) Internet Explorer versions trip on this?
Has anyone reported this before?

Thanks in advance!

Nobody didn't reported any suspicious things corresponding to our templates. Are you sure your site wasn't hacked?

I am pretty sure I have no virus / hack, cause no scans reports anything with me....

Basically, if some one is using old IE, this is just asking for a troubles (not mentioning most of the sites will look bad). I have checked your site and all seems to be fine. Can't do much more.
