Virus detected at Hartz.com. False positive?

[sanelson]

I was just trying to look for some information on some Hartz pet products and went to hartz.com when I was greeted with the friendly avast! siren and virus pop-up saying that it had detected a worm.  Somehow, though, I have trouble believing that it has actually found a threat.

False alarm. Sorry for any inconvenience. It's fixed in the internal build, will be in next vps update.

As a workaround, if you can't wait, you can add these webpage to WebShield exceptions.
You can use wildcards like * and, don't forget, remove the exception later

There are some script tags on that page that don't have the inner javascript quoted out and that is probably what is causing the alert although the actual script doesn't look malicious.

Hopefully it will be dealt with as quickly.
Have you reported the FP ?

Send an email with the URL to virus@avast.com with information, VPS version, Malware name, much as you have done in your post in email body, a link to this topic might help and false positive in the email subject.
