Mal/HTMLGen-A is the threat name associated with web content blocked by Sophos products using the reputation filtering functionality.
Note: Mal/HTMLGen-A is not detection of a malware payload on an infected machine. Instead it indicates a Sophos product blocking access to a remote website we believe to be either malicious (a site whose sole purpose is to infect users with malware) or compromised (a legitimate site, but one that has been hacked in order to infect or redirect users).
If you believe the current classification is incorrect, please use the following form to submit the site for re-evaluation:
