Our question concerns avast! warnings that it has blocked attempts of ad./st?ad_type to download destabilizing malware onto our computers, while we're using Google Chrome (and in my case, Firefox too). The avast! forum thread that your link points to is about avast! warnings about ad., when the user is at.
While facebook has had many problems with malware lately, this seems to be a false positive from Avast!: ĭo you also get the popups on other sites? Yahoo is mentioned a lot. Wouldn't Facebook have policies, procedure and contracts with its business partners to guard against a drive-by download like these?Įdited by hamluis, 02 July 2013 - 04:09 AM. This is the avast! warning that popped up when I tried to go to adtegrity's website: A lot of people use avast! and Chrome and/or Firefox. I can't use Facebook if it's allowing an advertiser to put malware on people's computers, even if it's currently only coming through a Zynga game. This is the first time I've come across this.Īny chance that these were false positives? My Google Chrome, Firefox and Java versions are all up to date. Process: C:\Users\Dad\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firef.Įven if Zynga thinks it's okay to partner with a company that wants to put destabilizing malware on our computers, why would Facebook tolerate it?

I've been getting, "threat has been detected," pop-ups from avast! while playing Mafia Wars at the Facebook website. I did try and download a movie a few weeks ago, so I guess that has been what caused it. I have been through all downloads and not noticed anything sus there, I have no updates to do. When hovering on those words, a pop up add would come up. I first noticed the virus on my own blog, when I noticed words had been turned into links that I had not made links of. My avast free anti virus keeps giving me pop ups saying as above. URL: Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\App.
