Infection Blocked! when opening up new tab.
« on: November 13, 2014, 02:33:30 AM »
Hey forum,

Whenever I open a new tab in Mozilla Firefox Avast! says that it's blocked an infection. I took a screenshot of what it said, here's the link:

I'm using Avast! Free 2015 and the FireFox version that I'm using is 33.1

I found another thread with this exact or similar issue but I'd love to hear from the virus professionals to know that I'm secure.

Thank You so much!

Well I ran MalwareBytes and it didn't find anything. Could this have just been a false positive?

Based on the blocked address I would say that this are the recently introduced ads on the new tap page from Mozilla.
