Whatever happened here...did I have a virus attack or what?? Scary stuff!!
The other day I was viewing a video tutorial on Spybot on site (howcast.com). A minute or so into it a whole screen message appeared from the web page (5d7539.innersafe14.com) that AV has found suspect activity on your PC and will perform some actions on your PC with a list of 9 infections (hi-med- & critical). A download box to save or open appeared & I became very suspicious!! Tried to click out of it but it would not go so I used the back button and was back into the video. A minute later Avast 6 alert came on and said it blocked infections.
That was such an unusual name for a website - was this Windows Firewall or Windows Defender or some sort of virus attack?
Avast File Shield logs - 1 file deleted,successful -- 2 moved to chest, successful
Avast Web Shield logs - 5 threats with option choices (repair,delete,send to chest, do nothing)
Both of the above log files were High risk.
I clicked on 'send to chest' from the drop down option list in Web Shield logs but nothing happens. How can I move them there?
Are the threats in the Web Shield isolated so the computer is protected? Would that be the sandbox?
Ran scans later: Avast6, MBAM, SAS,Spybot and all OK.
Could someone please advise me on this? Thanks in advance.
