I am using Avast Free Version with the latest updates.
On Mon Sept 4 at Noon Pacific, I had my Opera browser open (with the latest updates) and a warning message stated 'We safely aborted connection on sz0m.garo.gdn because it was infected with URL:Mal.'
Threat: URL: Mal
URL:
http://sz0m.garo.gdnl?Opera.exe
Detected by Web Shield
Status: Connection Aborted
I checked the Virus Vault but nothing was listed so a Smart Scan and a Full Virus Scan were run but nothing was detected during either scan.
An Anti-Malware scan was also run (with the latest updates) but nothing was detected either.
Was this a false positive since Avast detected an issue within Opera.exe specifically? If someone could look into it and advise, it would be appreciated.
