Web Attack: Malicious Toolkit Website 9

[ Edited ]

I use Symantec Endpoint protection and I own http://www.vayumedia.com .

 

I had a few of my website's visitors tell me that they thought I had a virus on my website.  When I opened my website I recevied the Norton Pop Up: [SID 24089] Web Attack: Malicious Toolkit Website 9.  I receive it in Internet explorer sometimes and sometimes not.

 

I ran the URL thru:

 

Norton Safe Web:  Safe

AVG Tool: Safe

GoogleSafeBrowsing: Safe

UrlVoid.com: Safe

Online Link scan: safe

Dr. Web: Safe

 

We couldn't find anything on the website.  I am at a loss why Norton is reporting this.

 

What can I do to detect the issue and remove it from the website? Or is this a false reporting issue?

Have you tried going to your site by clicking on a link in a Google search?  Sometimes these types of attacks will only be triggered if there is a referrer.  The fact that the attack does not launch on every visit does not mean there is not an infection - many of these are randomized to evade detection.  It may not be a false positive.

I couldn't replicate it this moment but I had enough of the warning pop-ups and feedback from visitors that I do think it is real.

 

However, I don't know what tools I can use to remove this problem form the website.

Norton is identifying 129.121.39.173/home/index.php. if that helps at all.  I am not affected on Firefox because NoScript stops the script from running.  It is recognized on Internet Explorer immediately and blocked.

This explains why I only saw it using Internet Explorer.

 

This tool seems to have identified it for me: http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/

 

I may use them to see if they can clean it up for me.

 

Thank you.
