First of all I want to thank you guys for all of your help. Recently you have helped fix both mine and my brother's computer at work and I don't think either one of us gave you the proper thanks. This is truly an awesome site you guys have!

Now for the latest problem...this is my home computer. We have Windows Vista if that's important to know. My wife's friend's email account recently got hacked and sent her a link that she clicked on. We have AVG and on occasion, specifically when we open a new internet browser, we get an alert from AVG saying that an infection was found and it calls it HTML/Framer. I have run scans with MalwareBytes and SpyBot as well as ATF Cleaner and it's still doing the same thing. It is not a crippling virus (at least not yet) as we are able to run everything as normal, but I would LOVE to clear it off. If you could tell me where to start and what logs you need that would be great. Thanks in advance!

Judging by the current rash of posts on this issue, all with AVG, I expected that this was a false positive and this post from the AVG Forum:
"Hello all,

please be informed that false positive detection "HTML/Framer" (www.google.com/recaptcha/api/js/recaptcha_ajax.js, BrowserCompAp.js) was already fixed with latest virus database update 271.1.1/3006 released 7/15/2010 6:44 AM CEST.

Please update AVG virus database and check the websites once again.

Apologies for any inconveniences.

Thank you"

proves it. Update to the latest AVG definitions and it should go away.

This is the second time AVG has had this same false positive. Last time was back in 2008.
