O.P. Flaw in the new "social" part of live?
So, after (unfortunately) upgrade windows live to the newest version, I realized there were a bunch of new features, including this... facebook/twitter stuff on it.
After a short while of being open, my anti-virus pops up saying its found something.
After some testing, it ONLY happens when live is running
"Object: pid=Messenger_IMSCB2_234x60_MMM[1].htm
Detection: HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen"
I was skeptical at first, thinking it might be a false positive but after sending the file to "Avira" they have confirmed that it is in fact Malware.
"We received the following archive files:
File ID Filename Size (Byte) Result
25956855 4944058e.qua 7.2 KB OK
A listing of files contained inside archives alongside their results can be found below:
File ID Filename Size (Byte) Result
25956856 4944058e.vir 6.71 KB MALWARE
Please find a detailed report concerning each individual sample below:

4944058e.vir MALWARE
The file '4944058e.vir' has been determined to be 'MALWARE'. Our analysts named the threat HEUR/HTML.Malware. This file is detected by a special detection routine from the engine module. "
Now, I can only assume that this is from something that someone might have posted on that stupid wall I never use, but I'd like to know if this is already a known issue or not.
