Yahoo image search -- Causes Trojan horse detection

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Go to this URL:

http://images.search.yahoo.com/

in the search bar type “Dave breaking” without the quotes.

Interesting.

There appears to be a compressed javascript file loaded and it isn’t certain if that is related to the search or what image might be loading it.

It is only detected by avast and gdata so may be a false positive, http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=97a3da1d2dd5429bd1f6bbe57101b97f51b864a5b498535150ccb1b24c7a5d0c-1295052191, so I have submitted it for further analysis.

Any word on this?

It is still detected, it wasn’t to long ago that I sent the file for analysis.

Thanks, just checking.

Well, I got an update and things seem better, but doing the same thing then scrolling to the bottom of the page and selecting page 2 of the results still gives the warning. You can select any other page except 2! ::slight_smile:

Several days and several updates later, now we’re back to the original behavior. Trojan horse detected. This is a false positive; am I posting in the right part of the forum?
