Are these false positives? Can anyone confirm?

Yup, FPs. A colleague is right now getting the fixed version out.

Mine is doing the same, as is another national phpBB. My son can find no problem with his work laptop running McAffee. I’m assuming it’s Avast that has got over-sensitive.

It did update just before, and I’ve tried updating again in case there was a hitch while uploading. Maybe they will have sorted it by tomorrow’s update - or I’ll change to another provider rrather than not be able to get onto my own BB.

VWDave.

Ah - a solution is being worked on - excellent!

Something that happened on my computer that I never have understood:

I had these folders full of stuff I had transferred from one computer to another, and for some reason, these applications magically made themselves in those folders, called [nameofthefolder].exe. These were viruses. Any idea how that happened?

Fortunately, my phpBB3 forum isn’t affected. ;D

I have the same problem and it wasted 1 hour of my time trying to find out what was the problem
and looked every where in internet but found nothing :o

I got a virus alert trying to access SUPERAntiSpyware forums. No doubt a false positive. ::slight_smile:

FP should be fixed now.

No more virus alert in SAS forums. :slight_smile:

I am still getting alert

What vps do you have?
What site is affected?
What virus is found?

etc.

No probs now! ;D

After an update approximately one hour ago, I can’t visit ANY web page whatsoever without encountering multiple instances of the following warning. Yes, I had to disable my Avast antivirus to visit the Avast antivirus forum. The irony. ::slight_smile: I really don’t want to uninstall because it has served me extremely well up to this point.

Any chance of a response here?

I’ve got half an hour before I have to either find a fix for this or install an alternative.

I did an update on my Avast and still have the same problem.
