AVIRA false positive!
We recently had an alert from Avira Antivirus, that our site contains the HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen3 HTML script virus!

We spent 4 days, thoroughly scanning all our files on our site. Everything was clean. We even edited files to check this behavior from the Avira Antivirus program.

It turned out, that this professional antivirus software, with all its awards, was giving a false positive! Well, ok, all antivirus programs give false positives now and then. But... but! The pattern Avira Antivirus uses to identiify the HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen3 HTML script virus is simply ridiculous!!!

Just because they see a hidden frame on the site, they scare off people, saying this site contains a virus!
This is simply put ridiculous, and a complete joke altogether! Obviously, these guys don't have any clue about web-programming techniques. Someone please fire the monkeys in the so-called Avira virus-lab! If they don't know how websites work nowadays, they better find another job; cleaning floors maybe!

Their so-called "virus alert" has been costing us potential customers, and 4 days of work! Just stupid!

Anyway, if you have been getting this stupid alert on our site, please ignore it!
In fact, we have contacted Avira 3 days ago, demanding they remove our site from their... "alerts", something they said they will do, admitting their mistake.

Thank you for your attention.
