A friend of a friend got an alert from avg when they tried to access a page on my site (I've not yet found out if it's there on every page but here's what AVG told them):
It's an empty page with just a header and footer, and a link to the external addthis javascript file (worth investigating? I've seen a lot of big sites use this and that's the only basis for my trust).
I looked at the source code of the page in question on my machine and neither did NIS2010 alert me, nor did I find any url as shown in that image in the source of that page.
My webhosting passwords are secure (alpha-numeric, punctuation, longish, the works), but I'll probably change them anyway.
First of all, is this a false positive? If so, what is causing it? If not, how should I go about fixing the problem (a sketchy outline would be enough, I can work out the rest or ask if I have a question)?
(I did a quick check of the file against my secure local copy and they are identical)
