Avast reports a malware

**alex31** · September 27th, 2014, 12:36 PM

Here we go again avast reports a malware on VEF!

**Buschi** · September 27th, 2014, 03:46 PM

And again my Kaspersky in combination with noscript and adblock says nothing.

**chip** · September 27th, 2014, 07:48 PM

AVG internet security plus noscript and adblock says nothing...and it always has.

this malware origin was reported by avast: "HTML: Script-inf "

not a clue what it means.

When i repeat going to the site no warning occured

i copied this from the avast report:

<HTML><META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html;charset=utf-8">

<P id=infection>
<P class=vaInfo>
<DL>
<DD class=p_vir>HTML:Script-inf</DD></DL></DIV></DIV>

not a clue what it means.

Yesterday i had problems when saving a posting, the post was affected and only a half of the info stayed on the site.

stopped with that posting , tried another posting , that worked well, no problems occured

Hope this info helps , if not regard as not send.

Avast isn't the most reliable antivirus software..... imho.

I just quit using Avast free a little while ago because I was reading some recent AV reviews and Avast, although pretty good, wasn't at the top anymore. I think this was the article which made me change:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2372364,00.asp

I changed to Bit Defender and so far it seems pretty good. Definitely a lighter footprint on the system.

I never received any of the warnings you did but you may want to try another AV. A lot of these warnings seem to revolve around Avast so that may be part of the problem.

I did a CCleaner sweep on my PC, that deletes all the cookies and automatically signs me out, which is something that I usually do not normally do. Anyway, I have just signed in again and have received no warnings or anything similar from Avast.

To do quick!:It's an html 5 start. Attributes class id etc are css styles files ("mise en forme").Not dangerous.uft 8 are basic standard input etc.
If there's any malware,thye are in php file,not visible BUT always workin as dynamic:that means don't click on anything to get response(and php object or no treats the answer) can be a door for a virus or malware.

Strangely enough, I did another CCleaner check, which again signed me out of VEF. When I signed in again I did get an AV warning.

Later, I deliberately signed out of VEF. When I signed in again earlier, nothing! No warnings whatsoever!

I know that sometimes Avast does send out false positives for this site. I was unable to log in all day yesterday as I was receiving a message from Firefox stating that VEF had server problems.
