Infected Webpage Detection
The past week I am getting a bunch of...
1. http://api.viglink.com/api/batch is identified and infected with malware. This page successfully blocked...
2. http://vx-archiv.at/tag-graftor is identified and infected with malware. This page successfully blocked...
Should I be concerned since it is blocking it?

I don't know if you should be concerned. BD says it blocked them. I have been experiencing #1 frequently in the last few weeks. From the best I can figure out, it seems to be arising from the Tech Support Forum, which is a reputable Forum. I discontinued going there, and I am not getting any more of those alerts. It was nothing for my BD to report nine of #1 after a session on the Tech Support Forum. Personally, I think #1 reports on my computer were a false positive. Just my two cents. Have a great day.

Thanks Phil. I "think" it might be something that comes back (not consistently) from Google Search(s). Thanks for the reply.

OK - found what it is (api.viglink.com....) - apparently some pages run a viglink javascript. Viglink generates funds (adds affiliate codes to merchant URLs automatically like Amazon, Newegg, etc...) every time it is executed for the website owner. There are two companies that do this widely, one called Skimlinks and the other called Viglink.
