Threat detected!

Reply 1#1 ollyhume's post

It's seems to be a malware. I found this information (read below). Run a virus scan on your computer, just in case. Maybe it's not on your computer, but on viptv. If it is, you can't do anything about it. We'll have to wait and see what admin says about it.

You're welcome. I haven't seen this warning at all. Maybe because I'm on vista.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm not using AVG. I did a scan too and my computer is clean. [ Last edited by serena75 at 3-9-2009 13:34 ]

No threat!

I found this information on another site.

AVG has recently (in the last 24-48 hours) sent out an update to their Web Shield software. It now appears that this update is causing the software to incorrectly identify a perfectly safe page counting process as some kind of threat. As a result some users are receiving a threat alert when visiting forums at Aimoo as well as other websites. If you are among those affected you will receive a message saying this; Threat Detected! File name - js.tongji.cn.yahoo.com/611067/ystat.js Threat name - Exploit Javascript Obfuscation (type 624) Please note, this is a incorrect report, known as a false positive, and there is NO THREAT. If you are affected please report this to AVG to ensure they are aware of the extent of the problem. The more complaints they receive the quicker they will send out an update to correct the issue. Just send an email to virus@avg.com and include a link to the website in question along with the information of what was being detected, i.e. the info listed in the error message. You do not need to include a screen shot, simply quoting the above information will be adequate.
