Maybe I've got hit with a virus, but since just now, whenever I load up pwdatabse or pwcalc, Kaspersky blocks some sort of malware o_o

Anyone else having this or just me?

    Probably the banners/advertisements. I have kaspersky too, but have not shown any malware neither calc nor database.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Bah, it says blocked so I'll ignore it for now haha. It's probably the advertisments, as the report says something about ads.

    not sure about pwcalc, but i know for a fact that pwdatabase has been having issues with their banners holding subversive "virus" or "malware" or w/e you want to call it

    quickfix for those who dont have real good anti-virus stuff: use an adblocker

    The sites you listed aren't malicious by themselves, so it must be their ads. If you're using Firefox, then install the AdBlock and NoScript extensions and you won't have to worry about malicious banner ads again.
