    Just to clarify, you get this warning when visiting the forums, or the main website (elderscrollsonline.com)? Regardless, we will send this out for investigation. Thanks for the reports.

    Probably a false positive Avast has been getting a lot lately.
  • linda912

    Yes, I get it too, but not when I am browsing google, news, etc. Only all the elderscrollsonline.com sites. I have the paid version of Avast, and there is nothing written in their forums about a false positive here at ESO. So I'm glad you are checking it out already!

    I believe there is a new adobe flash player version out. It is most likely a false positive considering the name Adobetm:)
    "In 2014, a possible bot was sent to coldharbour by a military GM for a crime she didn't commit. This argonian promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Ebonheart underground. Today, still wanted by the developers she survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a bot problem, if no one else can bite you, and if you can find her....maybe you can hire The SQUISHY."

    Though I would advice everyone not to visit your account page on this website till it's stated safe, you'll never know for sure if it's really a false-positive or a real threat.

    Could be a faked id, or even TypeKit, who knows.

    I have been using Trendmicro for errr, so many years, it makes me feel old. I've never had a missed virus from it, it even caught 0 days breakers. I'm pretty sure it's a false positive from avast :)

    Same here, though it did let one through once. One of those annoying "pretend your machine has been infected, do you want to clean" ones. Before I learned that clicking on X could also infect you. Now I right click and end all on the browser in toolbar if they appear.

    https://www.adobe.com/solutions/digital-marketing/dynamic-tag-management.html - and http://www.searchdiscovery.com/satellite/adobedtm-faq/. seems to be that thing, although, I'm not familiar with them at all. I guess OP might know if it is a soft he's using or used in the pase maybe? :)

    Probably a false positive. BitDefender isn't picking up any malware on the forum.
