False perhaps?

[RejZoR]

There is clearly something going on. avast! is also warning for this link:

forum.cyanogenmod.com/uploads/av-206846.png

Both, Web Shield and Script Shield (JS:Redirector). Admins should sweep the code to see if there was something injected...

[SatanR1]

This is being investigated and should have been resolved. Please let me know if any more instances like this arise.

Both my pc's have reported trojan horses too

Kaspersky is still giving me a virus warning pop up when I visit this site!!!

[RejZoR]

Same here...

@SatanR1 I am getting popups with Avast at home. After the above file was resolved, I now get warnings about the file http://forum.cyanoge...nate/donate.png. I wonder if this has anything to do with the new donation thing that shows under some users profiles. This image has always been unavailable for me to see, and now it is throwing up virus warnings...

Just food for thought. If you need help diagnosing this, you know how to reach me

[RejZoR]

Now it's a different link:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/public/style_images/CyanogenMod/donate/donate.png

It would be wise to thoroughly check the forum software because something is badly wrong about this redirector thing.

bump. using avast and keep getting the above pop up warning

[bassmadrigal]

SatanR1 is aware of it and is working on it.

Avast, while being overall decent, is known for tons of false-positives. More than even AVG... but AVG sucks, so take that as you will.

I am getting no warnings here with Avira.

[RejZoR]

Nonsense. avast! is not "well known" for lots of false positives.

[The Wiz000]

I am new.Looking for mod info. As for the AV pop up warning... i have had no such issue. i am using HTML only view of this site. NO scripts allowed. ok i am looking for some advice about what i should do to help me along. I am rooted, used superoneclick (love this program) bought titanium backup pro. and have not used it yet. Do i need clockworkmod?

You're entitled to your opinion. No one is stopping you.

ESS 4, looks clean from there.

[DanTheMan827]

I just got a warning about the Phoenix Exploit with AVG today

[gearsh1fter]

antivirus causes problems in the first place.

[jeagoss]

All of the code for www / wiki / forum.cyanogenmod.com has been downloaded, scanned for viruses, and checked over for bad code.  As it stands as of 01:24am Pacific Standard Time, the codebase is clean and so are the uploaded images.  These scans were performed by TrendMicro Internet Security, Microsoft Security Essentials, Norton Internet Security, AVG Antivirus, and Malwarebytes Antimalware.  The code was diffed against their respective sources to make sure no modifications were made outside of what we have made manually.  Anything different was verified.

[ivdok]

False positives. Deal with it - today's heuristics are marketing-targeted today, and not effective. If you're aware of something, send it to your vendor of antivirus software for analysis.

[Inferno986retur]

Hey SatanR1 (You must tell how you got that username ),

I also got an error from my AVG it referred to something called a Phoenix Root Kit 269 (or something close to that at least).

I hope I helped a little!
