Updating filter malwaredomains reported as trojan by Avast

Post by mariusica77 »

A few minutes ago I got this warning from Avast: http://imgur.com/a/B0rl7 http://imgur.com/a/el7lp
Seems to be during auto-update of malwaredomains_full.txt.
I wasn't using Firefox at the time, no site open.
So, what's the deal? It's a false positive? Or it's so easy to infect yourself now even by one of the tools I use to avoid that?

false positive, probably triggered because it lists domains known to send malware
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
