Avast shows a site is infected; Virustotal shows clean?

The site in question is:

cstms.berkeley.edu

Avast just aborted my connection indicating it was “infected with JS:Dropper-AABE[Trj]”

However, Virustotal and other url checkers show the site as clean.

I do have reason to believe the site might be infected, and I rarely get this message from Avast.

You can use the - Reporting a Possible False Positive File or Website - https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php.
You should get a response in a day or two.

That said I have just visited your link without issue, see attached screenshot.

If you are still getting this alert, please attach a screenshot of the Avast Alert window (with the more details option open). See screenshot 2 on how to attach.

Thanks for your reply.

Here is the screenshot.

Avast detected the threat in a tab that was already open (not when I first visited the site).

Unfortunately that old History entry screenshot doesn’t provide a great deal of information.

If you can replicate it and post a screenshot of the Avast Alert window (with the more details option open) it may provide more information. It is strange that you don’t get this when you first open it (as I also found).

As I said you can report it, but the virus labs team are likely to see the same as you and I on first opening the site.

You’re right, it didn’t recur when I tried again. I’ll check again later.

Hopefully it was just something of a one off.
