Hi essexboy,

Well I could solve the issue myself, by going to google.fr, I gave in the main site there and there the link brought me back to the scanner, and all works fine. Took me some while to find this solution. It can be a lesson for others,

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

I can remove the remainder of the ask bar if you wish - but I can see nothing untoward there

Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

Code: [Select]
:OTL
[2010-02-06 01:47:34 | 000,000,000 | ---D | M] (No name found) -- C:\Users\mysz\AppData\Roaming\mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\syue97pt.default\extensions\{E9A1DEE0-C623-4439-8932-001E7D17607D}

:Commands
[resethosts]
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Hi polonus,

just received your email now, thank you for reporting the problem in the service. Due to some recent attacks on this service, we had to set a more strict rule in the IPS and this could generate some false postive that could have caused the ban of IP Addresses of legit users. This is the possible cause of your connection problem with the service scanner.novirusthanks.org. If this problem happens again, send us an email and I will fix the problem :)

91.121.223.25 is the IP Address of one of our servers where is hosted scanner.novirusthanks.org.
