FYI: Alert for malware on ViVe's website

[The_Fabled_Aesop]

My antivirus software (Avast) is alerting to the alleged presence of the Trojan worm HTML:Script-inf on ViVe's new website, and blocking access to the site. It's not on the old version of his website, which can still be pulled up and which I frankly liked better than his current version, but any attempt to use a link on the old pages kicks the user over to the new website which Avast blocks.

Script-inf is designed to take control of Windows systems. Not a problem for me because I use a Unix-based system, but probably a problem for the majority of WMM users.

Not sure if it's actually infected, but it's the only website that Avast has alerted on since installing it, and only did this today.

I've tried to PM him on this message board to let him know, but I have no idea if he checks those.

Meanwhile, browse warily.

Its been revealed recently that Avast is the actual malware program selling user data to third party companies., get rid of it

I had not seen this before. Thank you.

What I noticed is that very rarely I'm redirected by vive's new page to some advertisment, but otherwise nothing.

So... i take it after trying to paint me as dangerous and unsymbiotic and it didn't fly viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15143

This is the new attempt? Some magic virus - with the clever implication that your virus scanner isn't able to find it. But it's there, trust me. And it's dangerous!

Really?

Really.

My virus scanner did find malware, and it prevent your newer version of your website from loading as a result. I had nothing to do with that earlier thing; I remember that, and it was ridiculous.

I don't want any heat with you. It was just a thing that happened, and since most people don't want malware on their computers I thought it was worth letting people know.
