A true false positive?
« on: January 19, 2015, 10:49:37 PM »
See: https://www.virustotal.com/nl/url/ef794bb76ecd5070007cf8fc8c7b872ff03ea64ff6905637c28c7a967a6aae11/analysis/
and the file results: https://www.virustotal.com/nl/file/dc0b718a02f0f9ba777aff5d36e7981e45a6cf56ba2fdbbe83277720b2e40e7c/analysis/1421666292/
If true avast would detect this as Win32:Runonce [Trj] but that is an e-mail worm detection and not a detection on legit Chrome Recovery.

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)!
