Avast Virus Warning?

Nothing I see on that page should be causing anything like that. No links/programs to executables, etc. there. My antivirus (Symantec) didn't even twitch.

I'll pass it on and have our 'techy' people check it out, though, just in case.

However: it's possible you could have picked something up somewhere else and it just happened to pop up then. Have you run your antivirus/Spybot/Adaware recently?
 
According to Suat, Avast thinks the Outlook code in the 3rd post is a virus. It's not.
 
Thanks for looking into this. I'm usually pretty up to date with my scans, but i'll double check.

Appreciated
 
It may not be an outdated scanner.
some lines of code are interpreted as viruses by some virus scanners. If I remember correctly, there was a similar issue with Colo's HTML maker and some virus program - you had to set up permission for his program. There's nothing wrong with the code - but scanners err on the side of caution.
