Heads up on this comes from Mark at ISPreviews

There is still a major problem on sites globally,these infections are rife,NOD32 has saved me several times this week on legitimate,well known sites!!

I was hit at Digital Spy this morning, Dorset. As you say, NOD did its job brilliantly... Nice to know that some things work as they should. :)

There were multiple drive by infections on PCBSD last week,they are adding them all over the net,especially on well known major sites,NOD usually just sits there quietly but this last week it has had its work cut out.

Pity anyone that does not have a decent or correctly set up AV right now.

Yup - a IGN Banner advert got me today..(it was there own aswell!) - However somehow i had set NOD up wrong...so it resulted in a reinstall :/ (Note: I have now got NOD set up right...for some reason the AMON was turned off...a very very bad mistake lol)

Ouch.  :( Still, you'll have a good understanding of the NOD setup now...  ;)
