Avast blocks infection from avast site
« on: December 17, 2013, 11:01:56 PM »
I'm using the latest version of avast IS on Windows 7 and it just gave me the message

"Infection Blocked"
URL: http://files.avast.com/files/emupdate/20131217.exe
Infection: Win32:Downloader-TJK [Trj]

What's that all about?

I was browsing ubisoft page, and got the same warning.
Is avast blocking its own update? :)

virus and false positive detections should be reported in the viruses and worms forum section

and this is already reported there.....   http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=142970.0

Same deal here, I just happened to see it pop up while sitting here and I clicked on more detail from the pop up.

How do I view what url and what file the web shield has blocked if I don't see the popup? It used to be easy to look at detailed reports in version 8 for each shield. With this POS version 9 I don't see that for web shields or any shield.

It means that they need to block themselves like they do so many others.  I got it too.

They never responded so I quit sending in tickets.

Sales..... almost zero during that time.
