I keep getting a pop up warning of a virus alert and blocked a potiental threat. THis is most of it:
not even sure how to copy the dang thing to copy & paste here…here’s part of what I copied:

c:\documents and settings\owner\local

what is this? what do they do? and why do I keep getting a malicious popup ?

I had just replied in your other post, please don’t start multiple topic’s/posts about the same issue as that will create confusion, this is copied from the other thread which will be deleted.

Please tell me or give me URL’s so I can sign up for the postings and ask questions. I am having trouble with a InfectionJSScriptSH-inf[tcj] and I need help to ask but can not find where to sign up or answer or anything. I have checked every page I think and nothing. HELP

If you think you have a infection please follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 then open a new topic here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=4.0 and supply the logs requested, once that is done then please wait for further instructions from one of the malware specialists.

Avast alerting on Viacom anti-phishing filter - urlfilter.vmn.net 99999999-m-list.

Since avast (and most browsers) provide some protection against phishing sites, plus the network shield and web shield also. I would say that you don’t really need this additional tool which is causing a bit of grief.

My email has been getting bombarded the last few days from club members of the Clubs where I’ve done presentations
about the avast! notification on visicom_antiphishing.exe
The following reply that I’ve prepared has been taking care of this problem:

"The avast! detection is because you appear to be running the following:
Visicom antipishing. (visicom_antiphishing.exe) is powered by Panda…which is known to not encrypt its malware signatures…and that is whats detected

Uninstall visicom and your problem should be gone…
You aren’t the first person to write to me about this same problem.
You may also have the following Toolbar on your system:
Blekko search bar by visicom media which needs to be uninstalled.

The best tool for removing Toolbars and other such unwanted items is called AdwCleaner.
The following link provides instructions on how to use it. The bottom link is a direct download link of AdwCleaner.
AdwCleaner is a tool that deletes :
· Adwares (software ads)
· PUP/LPI (Potentially Undesirable Program)
· Toolbars
· Hijacker (Hijack of the browser’s homepage)

Hope that helps. :slight_smile:
