It’s possible one of the linked images in the thread set off your anti-virus.
What brand web browser are you running? I’m running Google Chrome Version 45.0.2454.101 m with the current version of AdBlock Plus and don’t see any problems—Norton Internet Security did not detect any malware attacks.
I’m guessing it’s the first image in post #30
I just got the avast warning too when I opened it..
Yeah I get the same message from Avast. It says:
URL: http://www.quote-coyote.com/album/small/Stephen-King-Quotes.jpg
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
My Kaspersky says nothing about it..and I trust it..
I used Avast for many years and it’s good, but you do occasionally get a false positive and usually on images.
No problems here...But then I don’t use Avast...
I clicked on that thread, and my kaspersky did not alarm or anything.
my avast popped it too...
and then I was frozen even after cleaning..
