Avast "Warning" pop up
« on: February 23, 2009, 10:26:48 PM »
Not sure if this is the right section for my question.  A short while ago this blue pop up window appeared.  It is headed "Avast Warning'  underneath "Malware was found" . Under that is says "there is no reason to panic, though.  Try to follow the given advice & links" . There is a yellow & black spinning disc that pulses beside that message.   Under that it gives file name info --- malware name. SWF:CVE-2007-0071 (Expl)   Malware type: Exploit --  VPS version 090223-0,23/2/2009. 

Underneath that Available action,  move/remove - delete - remove to chest.  Recomended action:  Move to chest. 

Then processing-- no action .  Statistics: ticked allow sending anonymous info about this incident.

Is this for real as never had this happen before or is it some type of virus etc.  Tried Alt+F4 but nothing happens.  Can someone tell me what to do?  Getting a bit freaked.
