trojan alert

[sani450]

Hi, I am getting Trojan and Malware alerts on several pages of the seller "jolies-perles". Are those false alerts ? I am using Avast.

Got the item number 371832104812 from the address in your pic.

I visited the page and clicked on the the pic, etc. with no flags from my Eset antivirus.

I'm guessing you've got Avast 'heuristic analysis' set too high.

From Avast:

"As well as the standard process of scanning for known malware infections, Avast also performs a heuristic analysis to identify potential, but as yet unknown malware.

This is done by looking for certain characteristics that may be a sign of a potential infection."

Heuristic analysis is a best guess.

IMO it's a false positive.

Most antivirus programs have this feature.

I disabled this feature in my ESET antivirus years ago.

Your call.
