On the avast icon globe (in the notification tool bar) “About Avast”, includes a link to Avast.com clicking it I immediately get the “Trojan found” alarm. Recomends “abort connection”
I always thought this was the safest way to get to the avast or any software web site.
How do I get a wrong IP inside this box?
How can I make sure my browser is not redirected?
I had no other browser or page opened, this is the Info I copied from the abort connection box and URL (modified with x):
htxp://wxw.mybrowserbar.com/cgi/errors.cgi?r=n&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.avast.com%2Findex.html&ccv=130&cnid=xx4563&ISN=BC95DF3F3FA3487B8AF20DA1D5D0930x&type=404&ct=12{gzip}
I did scanned and it didn’t find it. I checked the log and it said signs of trojan found with that page link. ???scanning with SAS and MBAM shows nothing
I’m running Avast! Pro 4.8 still good for one more year
Firefox with 3rd party cookies blocked/delete history upon exit the browser
Windows Vista Premium
At the time it was updated. This happened last Friday But I had to go away and could not sent the question then.
Today I try it again and there was no problem with the link
The log always shows a scanning warning file x_AavmcheckFileDirectEX [UNI]:C:\Users\Owner\microsoft\cookies\index.dat
Also when I scan my external drive there are files that make avast SAS and MBAM freeze> I have been deleting some of those files they are just some embroidery digitizing files
Could you please tell me the best way to protect the external hard drive I don’t think it has U3 system to use avast! U3 Edition
This happened again today around 8pm and here is the Avast version update today. I reported False positive to Avast and Hope this is a FP. When I do abort connection I get the message “connection reset”
