Chrome search result virus

This has happened quite often,whenever I search certain things in google on chrome especially, the search result turns out to be infected. Avast reports a JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj] How can a search result be infected ? My av definitions & program are up to date . Is this is a bug in avast or my system is infected ?

Try opening this result link in chrome …it triggers avast av

maybe you should have a inside check just to be sure ::slight_smile:

if so, follow guide and attach logs http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Ran Boot scan,malware bytes, analyzed hijacthis log…everything is clean on my system.

pretty sure its a false positive…try pressing f5(refresh) in chrome …avast realtime scanner reports a js trojan.

could you attach a screenshot of the avast warning ?

Hi vim rossi and Pondus,

See: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=136067
As what the victim describes cannot be reproduced, there must be an infection of some sort. So I would advice to follow the guide and attach the logs to be inspected by a qualified malware removal expert here,

As Pondus says, screenshot or screen capture would be helpful.

As .js file usually indicates a java exploit, especially when linked to .jsScript, this would be web-based, albeit with the trigger being on your system.

Personally, I would try and read this, just to be sure my system was not infected: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Any questions, come back here.

I was going to get a screenshot but I can’t replicate it anymore. All I did was clear cache and avast downloaded a new definition in the background Now when I visit it the link nothing happens.

The infection appears to have gone…for now.
