Hmm, it's only happening in Hotmail for me so far but it looks like it's the images used in themes that are being blocked.

In the pulldown at top right you can do 3 things: Switch accounts, change themes, and log into messenger.  8 theme thumbnails appear in the pulldown.

:o are we SURE it's a false positive?
Just a few days ago, there was a thread on Facebook saying Hotmail/msn account's passwords were hacked..?
I did not click on any links in my hotmail, have pics blocked by default in it. and it would not let me enter the profile page to change my password..
since my hotmail account is linked to my Avast register, how do we KNOW FOR SURE??
Well, there seem to be three possibilities:
(i) it's not an FP, kubecj is lying to you, and avast are part of a big conspiracy with the hackers and will suppress the detection in the next VPS update
(ii)it is a FP, and you have nothing to worry about
(iii) it's a FP for everyone else, but you have a different and genuine detection.

You should be able to eliminate (iii) if after a VPS update the detections stop.

Then wheher you want to believe (i) or (ii) is up to you.  :)

NP, koam.
But please stop spreading useless posts around the forum. (like making fun about the tragedy in Japan..!!!)
Thanks,

Can I be safe now? I mean, that is this related to the stolen Hotmail/MSN passwords case?

It isn't related to the stolen Hotmail/MSN passwords case, it was a false positive on the network shield, which was cleared on the next VPS update.

Yeah, It's the themes, backrounds and wallpapers for hotmail. This is my avast! Network Shield log. the one tworads the bottom are for hotmail (css.wlxs). It says "bamboo_web_banner" and then the size of the image. This is a shared computer and someone else's account was stolen not to long ago so I was kinda worried at first.

The moment I logged in on hotmail I got several messages and when clicking another button while still logged in (f.e. press the button to see your inbox) Avast just kept continueing to block URL's (got 10/10 in the lower right corner of Avast's message at some point, each representing an URL-block in the +/- 1 minute I was logged in). It seemed that the moment I pressed a button I got several messages in a single "wave" and then it stops, till I press another buttong and get another "wave" of messages.
I looked through them and it appears to be the same 1 or 2 "objects" (at least, the first number of digits wich I could actually see where mostly the same). Thank for share. I need it
