Avast shutting down my CNN !!!!!
« on: September 23, 2011, 05:58:47 PM »
This has only been happening since yesterday morning...I thought maybe I had adware or spyware so I ran scans with both apps..they cleared a few very minor problems. I ran an Avast scan..all clean. Go back to http://edition.cnn...and as soon as the page loads I get a red Avast pop-up telling me this is an infected site...When I click " details" I get this message
Details van de infectie
URL:   http://networkio9.eu/|%3E{gzip}
proces:   file://C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\...
infectie:   html:Iframe-inf

Can you tell me what this is?  How to fix it?  Thank You

Hi,

I'm just a forum member.

It might be a false positive, but I doubt it.

Looks like that site might be a fraud or a victim of an injection attack.

Post under the "Viruses and worms" message board ad ask them to check if it is a FP - http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=4.0

EDIT: Upon reflection I see that URL is no longer accessible.

This has nothing to do with Avast scanning your own system. Avast is catching something in *that* site, not in your system.
