Default AVG Virus warning on Site Content?

Hi, Not sure who to report this to, but when attempting to view the BA Connector Views, AVG alerted me to a VBS threat, and blocked access to the page(s).

I tried both the links on this page: http://www.fordforums.com.au/vbporta...?articleid=830

Both caused an alert, and would not load. If I should report this elsewhere, please let me know.

Sounds like your AV thrown up a false positive.

I've checked and confirmed those pages are fine. I suspect the AV application is seeing the anti-leaching code used in the portal and reading it as a virus.

Cheers

Thanks guys, AVG is no longer popping the alerts. There must have been an update through overnight.

I get the same thing with AVG, but only with AVG so I just ignore it (means I can't look at some tech docs though - have to use work PC to do that).

Unfortunately with forums, you sometimes have to be extra careful, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask! I'm yet to see any *virus* get past AVG, malware still sneaks through when people aren't careful.
