    Avast Fixes False Positive Issue with Virus Definitions

    Avast virus definitions update 110411-1 released yesterday contained an error resulted in flagging lot of good sites as infected in browsers. Avast confirms sites with a script in a specific format (remote sites)were affected but not the local files in your Computer.

    They discovered the problem quickly and released a fix after 45 minutes after the problematic update and has version number 110411-2. Anyone who still has this problem is kindly do the manually update the definitions to the latest version

    Good news SAMEERA 45 min fix is fast in my book and it wasn't a pc problem that needed attention so it would have little impact to the likes of myself, well spotted

    Thanks for the heads up . I didn't face the problem though lucky enough . .
    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.
