Hey Logos,

Thanks for your help.  When the program had its last update, the problem sorted itself out, so I can now post again.

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)!

well I didn't really help, and didn't have the time to investigate myself, but if an update solved your issue, that's fine, meant that was an FP (false positive).

ps: I'm a user here, I don't belong to the Avast team

Hi folks,

I had this exact same problem happen to me until just 2 minutes ago.  My Avast Internet Suite just updated the virus definitions and I can now post again on Delphiforums.  Appears it was a false positive.  I'm using Firefox 3.6.6.  I do let Avast update regularly.
