My screenshot and the one from Borgis refers to the same exact file.


EDIT: Forgot to mention that prior to Firefox, I had Waterfox installed (64bit Firefox variant) and that's where I got the message first, my screenshot shows firefox portable cause I uninstalled waterfox thinking the exe got infected and so I switched on to the portable firefox I use for work.

Hi Gangplank,

What for users that have ABP in Fx or Chrome with fanboy's list installed. Are they not being affected?

Ok I've kinda found a "solution" for now, Went ahead and installed the DoNotTrackMe addon and the popup stopped.

Addon Website: http://www.abine.com/dntdetail.php

Unfortunately there's no opera version but at least it's avoidable.

I've tried disabling the addon and visited ausgamers.com and the avast popup appeared, enabled the addon and no popup. I've tested this only on firefox.

If this helps let me know please, at least I'll know if the addon is making effect or not.

Cheers!

Hi polonus,
I've just installed adblock plus for opera and updated the block list from fanboyz, not getting the same warning anymore for now, will do a test with chrome right now with the same setup and i will give you an update on the result asap.

cheers.

Okay, I've just done testing with chrome, with adblock and updated block list, Twitch TV is fine for now, but when visiting Gawker.com and AusGamers.com I was still getting the "RUM" warnings, I think adblock does not affect it, at least on my end.

Cheers.

I'm having the same issue when visiting http://www.captureminnesota.com/ with both Firefox & Chrome beginning today.  Is this a false positive & how can I stop it from popping up all the time?

Thanks.

Kim

@Gangplank,

Good suggestion for those that want to be without that kind of ad-monitoring to have it blocked for now and also as it later seems to come unblocked by av-solutions..
Fanboy's adblocking list does not flag it for no reason, I guess..

@micahwedemeyer

Wepawet gives the code as benign. And according to me it does not fall into the realm of suspicious or unwanted malicious code. The injecting nature of the benign code could have been an issue here to flag it. So wait for what the avast team analysts will decide.
On second thought I know that there are users that would like to block that code via an anti-tracking add-on, or via enhanced adblocking or via NoScript or RequestPolicy add-ons in firefox or sinilar extensions for GoogleChrome. Adblocking and the evasion thereof by ad-launchers is an ongoing chess-game...

UPDATE
Installed DoNotTrackMe on Chrome as Jonny788 suggested, the warning somehow stopped for particular reason. Tested multiple times and it seems to be the perfect solution for now.

For anyone having the pop up issue, here is the link to the addon.

hxxp://www.abine.com/dntdetail.php replace(x) with (t).

I get the alert with IE, and I have removed all code that I can find with the Cloud attached to it. Still getting the alert.

This is on the differing variant:

In the code that comes up with Internet Explorer, block "beacon-.newrelic.com" without the "" and see if that is sufficient to block the alerts?
On what the code does: https://newrelic.com/docs/features/how-does-real-user-monitoring-work  -> link info from: Jonah Kowall and Will Cappelli
