Lend me a hand guys.

Recently (this hour or so), Avast has been finding many Mals in many places like yahoo and other trusted, and I mean TRUSTED sites, this never happened before these few hours.

I use Firefox in windows 8 35 pro.

 

Infection Details URL: http://ad.yieldmanager.com/pixel?id Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\f... Infection: URL:Mal

 

Avast Basic free trial (one year).

 

Fresh install, my own build everything was fine.

 

Thx for the support, call national security if you have to.

GASP

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Someone at Avast probably pushed out a virus definition update with an error in it, I'm sure it will be fixed soon enough. For now just turn off the web shield.

It's probably just an error in the database. Use Malwarebytes and see if it says the same thing.

You are right. Web sites that have ads were blocked by Avast as a fualt. The new update I did, did not work, but when I did it from the pogram again it worked properly. My bro had the same problem.

I did it from both Uninstall/change program and thur the Avast updater as well, its all good not.

I only trust re-install from known installer. Sure it wipes it all but then again it wipes it all ;)

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
