Answer» Take a look at this story on Yahoo.
http://tech.yahoo.com/news/nm/us_cybersecurity_symantec
Near the BOTTOM of the page, there is a link to TrafficConverter.biz which tehy say has been shut down. if you click on that link, malware will be downloaded onto your computer even though it looks like the web addres can't be found. (It's a good thing I have avast)The website has been shut down, so as long as you haven't been there before, you're fine. I know it was shut down. I guess someone else BOUGHT it or something because when you click the link Avast detects something
Unless avast just blocks the site because it's on a URL blacklist which WOULD make me look incredible stupid.Blacklist is almost guaranteed. It was a CONFICKER website. http://www.techjaws.com/conficker-wakes-up-with-rogue-software/
