Daily Mail website

[Rodo]

Whenever I have been on the Daily Mail news website or the Cafe forum this evening, I have had a red notice from Avast saying it has blocked a malicious URL

Just thought I would let you know.

Is it only happening on the DM website? And what does the Avast! log say about the URL being blocked?

[Rodo]

Yes it's just the news site and the forums. I don't know what it says tbh.

Rodo, the info should be in Avast!'s log.

It is probably a link in an advert taking people to another site, so not much of a worry. Sometimes indirect linking is not liked by Anti-Virus programs.

If the warning starts cropping up in other places then it could be more of a problem.

It appears to be a link in a dieting website. The dieting site might be OK, but some of its contributors might not be.

Do a full scan with Avast! just to make sure you have not been infected.

Yes have done that thanks. All seems well.
