You just dodged a bullet
You may be wondering how you ended up with a virus, especially if you were visiting a ‘normal’ site. The latest research from the avast! Virus Lab shows that more than 80% of malware (viruses, spyware, and the like) spreads through legitimate websites, with only 1% coming from suspicious or ‘dodgy’ sites.
Good thing avast! had your back.

Plus this url
No problem here, I started out visiting the iPlayer diagnostics page http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/diagnostics and the tests concluded successfully.
I then went to the main page http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ and started playing one of the Apprentice episode, no problem.
EDIT: I get a 404 error for the URL you posted above and that doesn’t look like the BBC iPlayer URL I posted.
I recieve 403 and 404 errors when using the links supplied by jcdubai but this is obviously nothing to do with avast.
i want to watch the Apprentice too !!!
What does what you said mean…its ok on your pc, but not mine ??
Is it a virus or ???
what do i do next ??
Thank you
Provide us with the logs required here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
A qualified removal expert will look into the matter,
polonus
Ok …thank you very much
Will do, as every time i go to BBC i Player Avast pops up and blocks it.
Many Thanks
ps how do i take a screen shot ?
and what are the logs you are asking for…sorry bit nieve with computers
Thank you again
I didn’t download it I streamed it for a few minutes to test it, I just clicked on the Apprentice on the main iPlayer page (Most Popular section) and it started streaming.
Since you aren’t in the UK, there may well be issues that may not allow you to view some (or even all) content unless you have a subscription. I live in the UK and pay my Television License fee so because of that I have unrestricted access to BBC content.
So I don’t know how you are going about getting the content, if via third party, there may be a possibility that is compromised.
I may be away…but i still pay a license fee in the UK !!!
Common practise to use a VPN
Thank you for your help
ps how do i take a screen shot ?http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-xp/help/setup/take-a-screen-shot
There is a good alternative for when you are abroad: http://www.tvcatchup.com/ free service
Plays with a few minutes delay but more secure as with a UK based proxy,
polonus
Or you can use something very simple like Jet Screenshot
That is the problem, as the checks that go on are geo-location as there would be no way to check if you had a UK TV License. Even using a VPN may have problems as I believe the BBC will have some idea of someone using a VPN or not, as there must be many people trying to access this content.
Thank you all very much !!!
Had a trojan, yuk, but Malware got rid of it…watching the Apprentice…FAB !!!
Take care,
JC
You’re welcome.
