False positives in AOL

Anyone else here get hit with trojan horse viruses in your Internet cache when logged into AOL? Here is what Avast found: C:\Documents and Settings.…\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\3PVJ20IY\tcode3[1].htm

It may be time to say goodbye to Avast. This is the second time in about a week that I and others are hit with false positives…what gives???

oh yeah....no one else have false positives it is only Avast.....

Hi mscoulter, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:
(now where does that name sound familiar from…)

It may be that this was related to the ad.yieldmuncher issue…which has since been resolved in an update I have just received. Could you update and try again, to see if that helps?

If not, it may be a genuine detection, or something else…not sure…

I was just hit with same (C:\Documents and Settings.…\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\3PVJ20IY\tcode3[1].htm) false positive in AOL at 6:49 pm EST today, Dec. 29 2009.
Virus database already updated, so I’m assuming AOL false positive problem is not fixed???

Hello,
send us (virus@avast.com) the file to analyze. Put “False positive” to email subject and link to this forum topic to the body.

Thank you,
Milos
