Same thing is happening here. Any ideas? My forum is religiously updated.

Same thing for one of my members.. Is this some sort of new virus, or is it just an update for Avast that got a little too sensitive perhaps?

I did a little research and it looks like many people are having this same problem. I started occurring after an update to Avast. More than likely a false positive due to an error in the latest Avast definitions update.

In this post an Avast Administrator says it's it's an obvious false alarm and that they'll be fixing it.

Looks like Avast fixed the problem. If you are still have this problem update your virus definitions.

Thanks to Avast for getting this fixed so quickly. If this was some of the (to remain unnamed) big virus scanner companies we would be waiting weeks.
