outlook.com triggers script shield

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi,

i just logged into outlook.com and latest free version of avast gives me a popup stating it blocked bad scripts. the scan logs are attached. Anyone else seeing this? should I be worried?

thanks

I’m having the same problem. Can’t help but think it’s a false positive. It started right after the latest update.
Can any admins confirm this?

Same here, I’ve had to disable script shield

Same thing is happening to me.

It started right after Avast updated to version 8.0.1489.

I stop the script shield for 10 min. - just enough to browse through the emails - I just hope that this is a false positive.

Avast support - please fix this asap :cry:

Same problem here - couldn’t figure out how to stop the messages and the annoying voice continually advising me. Uninstalled the product and now have peace and quiet! Relief!! All i was doing was composing a new message in Outlook/hotmail using google chrome.

This was my error

Thank you.

hi,

i get an avast security popup at outlook.com in firefox 21.0 and IE10

15

Same here!

16

Same here seems common in various threads…not heard anything from admin as yet?

17

See post 4 by Asyn to report the false positive.

18

Four hours and nothing’s being done?

also I hat that pop-up on IE 10.
And there all gone to the virus cest automatic

me too. when I log in to outlook.com to load my Hotmail inbox page, I get the Avast warnings. The Hotmail page loads, but it is missing the icons/buttons at the top of the page that allow you to do the Hotmail functions like “Reply”, etc. Also the line item icons that allow you to delete individual emails are missing. I don’t know if it is a FP or if Microsoft has let a bogey get into outlook.com.
