Hey Logos,

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

Hi friends,

Been there, nothing flagged anymore: http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=6&nav=messages&webtag=ab-urbanlegends&tid=7856

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.
