Space.com mainpage: I can haz malware??

[doom_shepherd]

So hey, I can no longer access the mainpage, because my employer's antivirus (Sophos) says that it has malicious code.

To be exact:

Blocked request: location contains malicious content
Threat: Mal/ObfJS-AB

Threat source : http://www.space.com/
The requested location contained malicious content and was blocked from downloading.

Mal/ObfJS-AB ? WTF is that?

Sorry to hear this, doom_shepherd. I'll forward this on to our helpdesk.

I was wondering if this is another false positive like the other one we had, but seems not. It's also known as "MAL_HIFRM-2" and is described as "low risk" but Trend have it in their database:

Thanks, Smersh - I'll forward it on to our helpdesk.
