The following Error message was displayed before the Avast! Virus warning was displayed after I visited youareanidiot.org with Firefox 2.0.0.1 on WinXP SP2.
Displaying the Virus warning is OK, but the error should not be displayed.
I use avast! Version 4.7 Home Edition
Build 4.7.892
Xtreme Toolkit Version 1.9.4.0
ActiveSkin Version 4.2.7.3
VPS version is 0701-1
Can`t fetch file pointed by your url. This may be caused by several reasons:
* Remote file is not available (not found, requires authentication, permission denied)
* Remote site is down, or very slow, or busy
* No network connectivity between Dr.Web online server and remote web-site

so it is clear that there is no alert with noscript extension, because the Problem comes with the JS
DrWeb link checker also finds a virus in http :// youareanidiot.org /script/you.js a different name but a trojan.no.close. So the detection would appear valid for the you.js file.
VirusTotal also detects it under many names, mainly spawn, windowbomb, noclose, etc.
Displaying the Virus warning is OK, but the error should not be displayed.
So, as I said, for me it is clear that the virus warning is displayed. But the Runtime Error should not be there.
My questions are:
1 What is wrong that it is displayed?
2 What can I do that it will not be displayed in future?
I already uninstalled avast! and reinstalled it but the error is still there!
(The JS produces 5 Windows that change Position every second, checks if there are 5 Windows open and open new ones if there aren’t. Pretty nasty )
Is Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 installed on your machine?
Does the problem happen if, instead of waiting for the virus dialog, you simply double-click the avast tray icon (and the avast on-access scanner dialog appears)?
Please try doing the following: download Process Explorer from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx, simulate the problem (i.e. have the R6034 dialog on the screen), then run Process Explorer, scroll the process tree to ashDisp.exe, press Ctrl+L to display the lower pane, press Ctrl+D to have DLLs in the lower pane, and then click Ctrl+A to save the contents of the window to a text file. Then post the contents of that file (or attach it to your post).
These are the foreign modules that are loaded in the process:
~DF6E71.tmp
DM2.dll
RollWindows.dll
Do you know what they belong to? And can you please please send (the DLL files) them to my email address? (you can find out their full path by double-clicking on them in the Process Explorer lower pane).
I do not know the first one (looks like a temporary one) the others belong to DM2 (http://dm2.sourceforge.net/)
With DM2 closed the Error still occurs, but the DM2.dll and the RollWindows.dll are not in the list.
The ~DF6E71.temp is in my %TEMP% folder.
What I’m looking for is someone that’s loading the msvcr80.dll library. This library should NOT be there (and before the Runtime error message occurs, it’s probably not - can you pls confirm?)
This is the Microsoft C++ runtime library from Visual Studio 2005. Any idea who installed it and how it got loaded to the avast process?
