You need to be 100 percent sure it is filefront before accusing them of infecting your system.

#1 If they were responsible it would be all over the net news right now. Many people use filefront.

#2 Filefront is a quality site. Not the biggest and not some small operation.
It's not really an accusation, it's a warning, would some poor sucker like to upload a file here for a test!
What I did was to start firefox this morning after completing a mod, I went to Photobucket to upload some pics, that went ok, I then went to FileFront & uploaded a file, I went through the browse & selected the file as soon as I clicked on "Upload" the progress bar came up & a new window opened to "aShopping.com", then COMODO came up with a warning, I didn't respond straight away when the damn virus warning popped up as in the image above, this is why the warning!!
Neither Ad-Aware or Avira could fix it!!
An urgent thread warning was a must!!
Thank goodness I had re-ghosted only a week ago.

Oddly it got past both her hardware and software firewalls and her online virus scanner.
I suppose it could have been Photobucket with a delayed reaction, doubt it though!!
