False positive

[adrian1111]

Hi,

When I go to this site: http://www.yloader.com I get a message that the twitter button link contains a virus:

Infection Details
URL:   http://www.twitterbuttons.com/upload/bad...
Process:   C:\Users\adrian\AppData\Local\Google\Chr...
Infection:   URL:Mal

That link is actually to an image, but since the page detailing the infection doesn't show the complete url, I can't post it here.

This appears to be a false positive, can you please check by going to that site?

Thanks,

I get a message that the twitter button link contains a virus:

no it does not.....URL:mal means the url is on a block list.....for whatever reason

scroll down to bottom here and see all blocked domains on same IP.....guess that is the reason

The report from the link you posted says:

Report:   Rescan  |  28-12-2012, 07:05:42 GMT (2 weeks ago)

IP Address:   64.74.223.41 (Scan with IPVoid)
Detections   0/30 (0.00%)

I believe that Avast should correct this kind of mistake promptly, otherwise their misleading information can drive users and customers away from legitimate sites that are showing this or other similar links.
