Network threat False Positive?

Viruses and worms
1

Dont know if this is a false positive or not, but since 2 hours ago, every time I visited hotmail I kept getting this network threat popup… It doesnt block the site though, but it takes a lot longer than normal to load… Does this happen to anyone else or only me ?

Also note the “twitter” logo, Please let me know how to remove this if its possible… I know its a very minor thing but its very annoying…

There is a setting in avast to remove the twitter button and like avast buttons:

Open avast! → Settings → Community → Uncheck the options.

One is the like avast button, the other is the twitter button.

I am not sure if this is part of one of the beta builds so if you don’t have this it is in the beta

Only in betas

Thanks mag :wink:

DraKuL,

Not in the release versions, only in the betas at the moment. So you have two options.

  1. Wait until the next release version - and ignore the button for now.
  2. Update to the beta version.
