It sounds like one of the ads in Messenger (234x60 is a common banner size). It wouldn't be the first time a malicious banner gets into Messenger's ad network.
It could be a false positive, but hard to say without more information. If it happens again, see if there is an option to quarantine it or some other way to save the supposed infected file.
It happens probably once an hour, and it quarentens the file, I have probably 20 or so now, I've sent one in the Avira, it wasn't called HUER/HTML before I had sent mine in and then they named it that.
On my thread on their forum I've PM'd some guy to have him recheck it because it does seem rather odd.

I honestly don't remember, it was so long ago when I got it and I dont recall how to find out what addons are installed.

To the best of their knowledge. HEUR/HTML.Malware means that the detection is a best guess, because they can't file it under anything specific. For all you know it's a bit of harmless javascript Avira doesn't like the look of. It's the first AV detection we've heard of, let alone first with that AV client. Until there are more complaints/questions from users with different AV clients, you'll have to assume it's something else on your PC, whether or not it's specific to only when WLM2011 is installed.
Makes sense, I guess I'll just bear with it, or turn Avira off while I have MSN going so I dont have to deal with the warning.
I haven't encountered any adverse effects from it yet (Though Avira is quick to pick up on it when it pops back up).. Could let it hang around a bit and see if it does anything else. -shrug-
