Cheat, Avast detecting a bunch of shit

Naru · November 27, 2014, 11:58:22 PM

So now that ads are back, I just starting getting these, I got 10 in a minute.

I've put more restrictions on the iframe. Check it out again and let me know if you get anything.

You shouldn't get redirected again, though, thanks to the sandboxed iframe.

Interesting. Can you post the URL it's listing inside of a code tag so I can take a look?

I'm curious to know if this might be a false positive from putting the ad inside of an iframe.

Yea, I just reenabled adblock, so it'll be a few minutes

Stop downloading porn laced with malware.

Any more reports?

I just got this URL pop up from Avast saying it's malware or something.

http ://log.dmtry.com/liveramp

Spaced it, so nobody can accidentally click.

Just making sure: the popup was a legitimate warning from your antivirus and not a popup ad, right?

Yeah, it was from Avast.

Been getting multiple hits from avast as well.
philadelphia-image.com/dollar
Whatever that is.

When stuff is getting through my browser's defenses to reach avast we have a problem.

Edit: Though it making it to avast in the first place may have more to do with ghostery consistently bugging out on me. That and I had my VPN off which is now back on.

It's curious that you two are getting the same message and you're both using Avast; it makes me slightly suspect a super-sensitive false positive going on.

A scan of the site reveals no infections.

Just to be clear: the sandboxed iframe I have encapsulated the advertisement in makes it impossible for it to hijack your browser and redirect the page. I'll submit a report to Sovrn, regardless.

I have received false positives before with avast, but that's mostly been with addons or extensions. I tend to err on side of caution though when it comes to virus/malware/spyware detection.

Can't say I'm overly trusting of this new ad setup, and probably won't be adding sep7 to any whitelists for a while. Good to see responsiveness and know its being looked into though.
