Just to update, I had a look at the incidents reported of this "highly dangerous" vulnerability on the kaspersky reports Its to do with Adobe and Adobe flash. Ive had a google and indeed there are reports of this loophole and now Adobe has produced a patch.

Noticed a firefox update yesterday, may be its a patch that was needed. Kapersky kept saying about a vulnerability in mozilla fire fox.

Fingers crossed.

I have the full paid for AVG and an extra fire wall as well. I am not having any warnings.
I would run a full scan straight away to get rid of it in case it is on your computer, not just being blocked

Every time Ive used GR today my Kaspersky internet security suite has thrown up a worrying message telling me that there is a link to a site which can steal passwords and private details? Is anyone else getting this?

I mean my suite is blocking it, but those who dont have good av and firewalls should think about upgrading
