Hi,

Avast keeps popping up with the following message: -

MALICIOUS URL BLOCKED

avast! Network Shield has blocked a harmful site.

Object: http://mybooklive/api/1.0/rest/alerts

Infection: URL: Mal

Process: C:\Program FileszAlwil Software\Avast5\AvastSvc.exe

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

Probably a false bogey…  

That URL is just an API call into the MyBook Live that lists the Alerts…

Thanks. I was pretty sure it was but I thought I’d better check first. I’ll get Avast to exlude it from reporting as an error.
