Now, I’ve read in various forums that this is just a “false positive” but, the odd thing is
I was able to use Ebay just fine a few days ago, and I’ve not updated for a month.
The “false positive” excuse doesn’t really make a lot of sense if I
haven’t even done an update and I was able to use Ebay before…
I’m also rather worried, because I logged in before I clicked search.
kitsune_baka, if your updating is referring to Avast! definitions, I am assuming the Avast! automatically updates on its own…unless you have it disabled and do it manually?

Hi Kitsune Chan,
I don’t think that is false positive, my assume the webpage that you opened was injected by malware, which is the malware is i-Frame.
Avast have a feature to do the automatically update as Omega mentioned.
Mine is set to manual updates of the Virus Database.
And Ebay are saying its a false positive caused by an
over-sensitivity in an update… but I haven’t updated
and I was using Ebay just fine a few days ago.
Its dead mate!
Its pining for the fijords.
Its pushing up dasies.
Its gone to meet its maker.

It is available, I have just downloaded it and no detections (see image), I scanned and no detection, so whatever was in there has been removed.
I have the latest VPS version loaded version: 091015-0.
Edit: For you folks trying to find it, you have to drop the \unp241954224 bit off the end as that is the unpacked/temp file avast scans before allowing the original to run if not infected.
I thought that…bit isn’t that a bit weird?
Avast! doesn’t usually flag a website with the unp######## attachment…wouldn’t that mean that it is alerting on it’s own temp files?
