[false positive ?] .gif on Tumblr

[system]

Greetings,

Don’t know if the topic exists.

I’ve got an (false?) alert against a .gif on Tumblr… hxxp://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-19UtqE8ngoZbM.gif

Regards.

Hi Drooooom,

No false positive; quantserve is known for hosting malware.

Ah ok! damn :o
It was just a simple Tumblr of a friend.

Hoping to have got nothing…

Thank you!

I’ve checked the URL at Virus Total. Almost all anti-virus doesn’t label it as a malware.

I don’t really think he checks anything, I’m actually surprised he didn’t suggest a re-install of avast :
