URL:MAL and it points to htxp://fga5050.viewcontact.com.
I read somewhere else that this is a common false positive in avast!..what to do???
and why is it a false positive?
IP adress for that URL is on 4 blacklists
Special Reason: Only the ASN/CIDR owner can solve this listing by actioning FAQ 42 apews.org SHUTDOWN BOTS, ZOMBIES, NET ABUSE
when do you see this… you dont give any info
It just pops up…about 10 of them…on the right side of the screen. Scans don’t find anything. I’ve cleaned out cookies several times. What keeps telling my Macs to access that site???
What keeps telling my Macs to access that site???so this is a Mac? .... if so, sorry the malware experts here and there tools only work on windows computers
Mac forum section is here. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=5.0
