Virus in your forums???

You folks have a virus/threat lurking in one of your forums (about “Safe Price”), according to your own software. Ironically, I navigated here to see if others were still having issues with this (as I once did).

I took a screen shot of the blocked threat and am attempting to attach it below.

I’m a bit worried when Avast’s own blog contains a threat. I’m a paid subscriber (Premium), and I have a right to be concerned.

Are the links in the forums safe to click???

The IP address in the image isn’t the avast forum IP nor as far as I’m aware the avast blog, both of which use different IPs. It is unusual for a URL link in the forums not to be shown in a domain name format (forum.avast.com or blog.avast.com) not an IP address.

There appears to be a url/shares.json? redirect going on to an avast blog post, why I don’t know. But I don’t see anything like this on this page/topic or the other one that you posted in and I’m certainly not getting any alert.

So I have no idea where this redirection is coming from.

Are the links in the forums safe to click???
