Recently the site hosting the Finite Liquids has triggered a Trojan Horse response from Avast antivirus.
For those of you who want to do the research, the infection was called "js iframe-AC trojan."
There are numerous sites explaining this, including Microsoft Microsoft Encyclopedia Trend Micro Encyclopedia
It's probably advised at this point to avoid the site.
Been noticing this phenomenon more where people who hold standards that above average are silenced while those with standards lower than average are viewed as pleasant and preferable. No wonder mass media is in such ****.
Well yes, I'm sure there is, but how much of a difference can be made to a website in a couple days that would set this off? I've had no fail entering the site until just today.
I would say don't be quick to call this off as a false positive until some research is done.
The site appears to be clean when I visited it in Firefox. Avira didn't flag anything as suspicious, and even after allowing the site in NoScript, there was still nothing bad.
I think Avast has a false positive, or the site's owner has already cleaned it up.
False positive; either a rouge advertisement (you REALLY should be using adblock plus) or infection. Simply having Avast active doesn't mean you're safe. :U
I don't just use Avast, for your information. I also use Zone alarm, Adaware, and Malware Bytes.
Hmm. What were the specific URL's you visited? Could you paste the avast logs too?
Unfortunately, it doesn't log this type of alert. It simply blocks the site entirely. I do have a screencap, however.
The link is: http://www.djoslin.info/finiteliquid.php HOWEVER any part on the site at all triggers the exact same response.

Alright, well Avast keeps freaking out. If everyone believes its clean, then no problem. I'll edit the main post.
