The AVAST forum was hacked and an iframe was inserted to some malicious site that was using a security exploit to install malware!
They pulled the forum offline now, but I was nearly hit, when I visited the forum yesteday, I got a message from my antivirus, I thought it was a FP , but just quarantined it anyway and thought nothing of it and then continued on my way. But I guess I was wrong!
I guess you must never let your guard down, even in 'trusted' sites. If you can't trust antivirus sites, who can you trust?
Oh yeah they pulled the forum down now. But it was on there for at least 24 hours...
