URL:Mal And Html:Script-Inf
« on: March 21, 2011, 06:11:23 AM »
Hay,Guys

I have been getting a URL:Mal waring when i visit a popular file hosting site



It seemed like the, Network shield was blocking it so i had to turned it off, Then the web shield, Starting giving HTML:script-inf waring



I am not sure what the problem is, But i wood really like to know,

Jest incase no one has notice the domain in question is "filesonic.in"

Update: Seems like the problem is solved, Site is working without any warning from avast.

Yeah!, I also thought it was false positive but something must have triggered avast as

This was the first time avast was showing a alert on that particular domain, Maybe some

New script which was added or some kind of change.

But webutation has some bad review, and only a 80% score: http://www.webutation.net/go/review/filesonic.com

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Hello,
This is a false positive. Problem was that we had a several pages in our black list what were really close with this page by name.

So I am not the only one getting this.

Host Avast! suddenly gone bonkers? Why am I suddenly getting this (which began today, 03-21-11) every time I got in my inbox at Yahoo mail and comicbookresources?

This is unrelated to this topic other than the malware name which can be applied to multiple different sites for different causes.

There have been instances of ad organisations having the content compromised. See https://blog.avast.com/2010/02/18/ads-poisoning-%E2%80%93-jsprontexi/.

This is not to say the detection is good or otherwise, just that it is unrelated to this particular topic.

Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

So what's the fix to turn the message off if it's a false positive?

Wait until it's fixed. Meanwhile, you can find a decent ad blocking addon for your browser. I have been getting zero messages about infected ads from avast! when messing around Yahoo (which is one of the sites all people keep complaining about today).

...but it's unrelated???  ??? I thought this applied to the particular error/false positive, or else why isn't Filesonic anywhere in the thread title?

I do not follow your reasoning, but okay. In any case, I have alerted comicbookresources.com and they said they'll look into it and get back to me. Alerting yahoo on the other hand is next to impossible. If it is a case of ad "poisoning", hopefully they can fix it somehow.

I also have ad blockers installed on Firefox, no effect.

I cannot find a setting to shut it off, so any other ideas would be welcome.

Yeah, go out to have a beer or two or watch TV or get some sleep until the FPs are fixed.

Honestly YOU sound like you need all those things more than me at this point. I'm sorry you are being inundated with these requests but it is not my fault, I am not the author of any of the false positives or ad poisonings or whatever is going on. I can wait but honestly how about YOU relax and grab a few beers yourself?
