Default Virus alert for this site: false or real?

For the past 4 days my antivirus software has been denying me access to this my350z website with the virus alert HEUR:Trojan.Script.Iframer
There were no problems at all accessing this site prior to this; I'm not sure if this is a false virus alert but in any event it sucks not being able to access the site. My antivirus is Kaspersky which is very reputable and has been known to catch bugs that other antiviruses don't. I am writing this from my Blackberry.

Can the site administrator please help look into this issue? Does anyone else have the same issue?
I have written to Kaspersky support but no response to-date.

I am sorry in advance if this is a false alert and limited to my antivirus software and if I inadvertantly cause panic among site visitors. It could very well be a false alert but I just need to site admin to verify this.

Also, just tried to visit g35driver for the first time in 2-3 days and the second the home page started to load I picked up another virus notification...... e.exe. Java went nuts as well. Clearly you have a problem......some deeper investigation is needed.....not just continuing to claim false positive every time.

I'm booting to Ubuntu to check my subbed threads and it definitely tried to redirect the first time I came here to see WTF was going on. Just avoiding Windows really isnt the final answer anymore.

So, really at this point I'm in disbelief that this hasnt been dealt with, even as a FP. Saying it isnt our code or isnt our content is not an excuse either.

We are starting to think that i was wrong last week, based on posts we've been given over on g35driver.

I have escalated the issue to tech, and hope to get news for you shortly.

cheers,
robb
