HTML/Crypted.Gen - Malware or AntiVir failiure ???
Discussion
Hello PH Team & experts,
for some days now, I get a Malware warning when surfing PH, not on all pages, but on a lot.
I use XP, IE7 and Avira AntiVir (personal version).
The alert says something about HTML/Crypted.Gen, access to this data has been denied by AntiVir
and I get the options of "Details" or "remove" I always have it removed, details are not shown anyway.
Maybe it is an Avira issue, or has something to do with adverts (no ad blocker used) ?

Having done a little bit of Googling, it seems that Avira tends to panic and throw this alert whenever it comes across encrypted code that it cannot understand and views as suspicious, rather than it being a specific virus it has detected.
Is it still happening, and if so, can you take note of what adverts are showing on the screen when it is appearing?

Sorry for the late answer, I was out of home for the rest of the week.
It happenend with some Toshiba ad
-when opening the Biker Banter Forum (no advert on that page?)
-in the "30 seconds of your life" thread there was only an empty box with "advertisement" on top
-in the "Les Miserables" thread
-in the "different option" thread in GG, there was a german videothek ad by ad.zanox.com
I did not notice it today, yet, maybe it was/is some AntiVir glitch.
