Solved: Avira warning about post on TSG

Just had this come up:

Access to the data has been denied!
Warning: A virus or unwanted program has been found in the HTTP Data.

Requested URL: http://forums.techguy.org/general-security/754255-what-s-best-antivirus-firewall.html
Information: Contains HEUR/HTML.Malware suspicious code

Generated by AntiVir WebGuard 8.0.15.0, AVE 8.1.1.35, VDF 7.0.6.241

 

I clicked on it. I have AVG. Nothing popped up

 

It only happened on that one post. I just tried it again from the forum page and didn't get the warning but I do get it if I click the link in my previous post that was copied from the page I got on my earlier attempt.

 

Maybe it is because it says malware so much on that page.

 

One of the replies in that thread had faked up links like
http://www.google.com

where it really wasn't google.com inside the url.

So maybe your browser checks for that as a heuristic test? It would fail this post too then.

 

I'll double check when I get back to that machine in the morning, but I'm 95% sure they're still at the default of medium.

 

I'm home at the moment and I don't have the premium version with "Web Guard" here so it'll have to be in the morning.

 

Same results as my post 3 above.

 

I did check that, it's on medium.

 

Frankly, on a work machine I prefer to err on the side of caution.
