Yahoo Mail attachment = malicious URL

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Yahoo mail has a PDF attachment from a valid source. This is a legitimate attachment that was expected from a bank, not just a random email.
Clicking on Open or Download causes Avast to show the red message and block a “malicious URL”.
This has to be a false positive. Yahoo certifies they scanned the message with Norton. If I disable Avast, download the file and scan with avast, it is clean. This is happening with other pdf attachments on yahoo today as well.

Can you verify and fix?

No, I am not going to offer to upload my customer’s bank documents to any web site

The following seems very similar, so maybe the same issue that was corrected came back?

I am seeing the same issue. I just posted to Twitter and to the contact form. Hopefully this will be corrected soon…
