I went to check a PM, and avast came up with the prompt saying:

http:beta.slickdeals.net/forums/private.php
Malware name: Uruguay
Malware Type: Virus/worm
VPS: Version 0638-0, 09/19/2006


I'm not sure what this all means, but I thought I should share this.

I highly doubt slickdeals is trying to put malware on my comp :nod:

I just don't know what this means :idontknow

Perhaps a false-positive?

I checked the banners and nothing. Avast's site doesn't have any info on Uruguay but a google search says that it's a .com/.exe file infector (http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_1292.htm) made in 1992. I think it's a false positive. If you see it again, get a screenshot.

Will do. It's never happened before...and I'm here pretty much all of my life :lol:
