My anti-virus program found an issue:

Infection Details URL: http://nhogfb0-a.akamaihd.net/nhog/pd/flash/game/66625/Main.swf Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Infection: URL:Mal

Is this something I need to worry about?

Did this came up in real time, or in a scheduled or on-demand scan of your hard drive?

If your antivirus software detected the threat in real time, it probably moved it to a quarantine folder or deleted it immediately, preventing any infection.

If it was found in a scan of your hard drive, the location information wasn't listed in your post. Does the software indicate where it was found?

This was real time when I was about to play a game on Facebook. My antivirus scans on a weekly schedule. The virus chest is empty so I can't find any additional information. I am assuming that it was deleted immediately.
