Viruses and worms

Some user add ‘virus code’ to this thread…
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=10706.0

It can’t be displayed and virus warning Win32:Mhtplo -18 [Trj]

I already have identified the code (string) and have send it along with info to Karel.

I expect it to be corrected with the next vps update.

Yep i noticed this, and made a post here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=10707.0

Even if you add that thread to the exception list it allows you to view it but wont let you reply, so i have added the Avast domain to the exception list for now so i can easily help in that thread if needed.

The thread is NOT infected. avast! Web Shield just picks it because it contains some strings posted by user (HiJack This log).

Does this mean that everytime i view a webpage with an infected hijackthis log im going to have the same problem?

Is there a workaround for this maybe?

This applies only to that specific HiJack this log because it contains some specific string that sets of avast!.
