Antivirus freakout on tales of eorzea page.

[Huginn]

Has anyone else had their antivirus freakout when loading the "tales of Eorzea" page based on the jpg from daevaofwar?

I had the same problem. I use Avast.

Avast sucks...

I have had AVG, McAfee and Norton freak out. looks like the potential of a targeted attack. Could have been a change to the target file after it was selected for the contest. Please be cautious and take care not to let your account be stolen.

Post Scribo,
No i do not run multiple antivirus programs on the same OS install, i am a very paranoid person. for a look into my paranoia, see my post about smartphone security token applications here.

I'm using McAfee no freak outs here.

Isn't McAfee the one that would wreck your system if it was on your computer but you weren't paying for the subscription anymore...

[Akira_Tenshi]

I don't know. I don't pay for it. It's provided by by ISP.

You're not alone.

I used virustotal.com to scan the SE forum page and the 'threatening' image. Both looked clean. Still, didn't attempt to load the image to see what it was.
