a bunch of my friends and I on LJ suddenly (as of like 4 hours ago) today started getting this
JS:Illredir-AG [Trj]
Trojan warning from avast every time we posted or commented. We’re all avast users. Livejournal responded to us with this message:
Avast! anti-virus flagging our JavaScript loading as a trojan horse
Hey all,
Just an update that we’ve investigated the reports that something on various LJ pages (such as comment pages with existing comments) is causing anti-virus trojan horse warnings. Ops has investigated and confirmed that there is no such threat present on these pages, and Support has tested/confirmed that only Avast! anti-virus users are seeing this problem.
BBB was updated with the following:
“Users using Avast! anti-virus software are seeing trojan horse warnings when loading various LiveJournal pages. LiveJournal staff have investigated these reports and have determined that there is no infection on the LiveJournal site, including the files served by the l-stat.livejournal.com domain, but rather that a change in Avast!'s heuristics/definitions files has caused them to incorrectly flag the loading of some LiveJournal JavaScript files. Avast! users should contact the Avast! support department directly to report this issue.”
