Virus warning

Viruses and worms
1

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this but I get a virus warning that I never got before when I visit two sites that enable me to listen to Philadelpia fire radio,the virus description is,

SWF:Chainer[Heur]

C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\10NS0UUU\ep_player[1].swf

This never happened before like I said. I asked someone who uses AVG and they don’t get a warning. I’m a computer novice so I don’t know whats going on but at least avast is catching it if its not a false positive,thanks. My avast is up to date,using windows 7

The sites if you need them are,

Eastcoast911.com you then have to click on “live feeds” and then the feed for the fire dept.

The other is ,http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?ctid=2291,,,if you click on the feed for Phila fire you get the virus warning,like i said just started today.

BTW just found this,I don’t know if it means anything,http://file.virscan.org/report/21a6849427e1c2a232725dd30e270364.html

Howdy fire,

This could well be a false positive as only avast flags it here: http://file.virscan.org/report/21a6849427e1c2a232725dd30e270364.html
the more while it is a heuristic find: SWF:Chainer [Heur]
Here it was found to be a false positive as well: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=80395.msg658745#msg658745
So wait for the final word on this or a new avast update whenever found to be a genuine FP,
