Help! Infection detected :-(
« on: February 18, 2014, 08:32:13 PM »
So i just received 2 pop ups with the following message from Avast:
_______________________________________________________________________________
avast! Web shield has detected a threat.
Infection: BV:Agent-AOS [Trj]
URL: http://imgur.com/gallery/M7rRfvC/comment/best/hit.json
File: {gzip}
_______________________________________________________________________________

I'm not exactly sure what to do now... should i just run a full system scan?
Has Avast actually prevented the infection from doing any harm?

EDIT: After completing the system scan, Avast hasn't come up with any infection. Has it not scanned the web shield files?
