This is the official research blog for the Distributed Family Tree, an open network of genealogical data and metadata. In a nutshell, the big idea is that we can combine all available genealogical information on the Internet into a single distributed network. The foundation for this network is the substance of the Master's Thesis that I am currently working on.
I see you removed my comment about the virus distribution from PGV sites via Genesis. I should have been clearer on this. I ran a query in Genesis right now and got the same reaction from F-secure (Trojan-Clicker.HTML.IFrame.lr) on the page jancsocsalad.hu. Do you have any thoughts on this?
I was really confused about that comment :).
So you’re doing a query with Genesis, and F-secure tells you there’s a Trojan-Clicker.HTML.IFrame.lr virus on a page at jancsocsalad.hu?
Yes
Weird. The only way I can imagine that happening is if you have jancsocsalad.hu loaded in a web browser hosted inside Genesis. If not, then F-secure must be monitoring all HTTP connections. It shouldn’t be causing any trouble in that case though; at least, not when using Genesis (I wonder if the owner of the site is aware of the virus though).
I guess F-secure monitors all HTTP traffic because I hadn’t opened any page from that hungarian site in Genesis. Antivirus software are known to occasionally interpret files wrongly … so if no one else has this problem I think that might be an explanation.
