Anyone else seeing this?
Starting this morning, Kaspersky Internet Security is warning me, on every Mudcat page I open, about something called ga_social_tracking.js which allegedly contains some malware called Trojan-Clicker.JS.Iframe.gb

It seems to have something to do with Google analytics, so unless something's gone very wrong at Google this may be a false alarm, but... does anyone know?

I tell KIS to block the script every time, and the page then loads normally. I guess the only difference is that my link-following preferences aren't being logged and analysed.

I suppose the Google analytics feed is needed for the advertisers... [sigh]
