False virus alert for Avira Antivir users

Users of Avira’s Antivir antivirus solution recieve a Virus Alert when visiting our homepage and/or iStylr’s main application. This alert is a false positive and must be ignored in order to use iStylr.

I know this is very annoing and if you are a first time visitor to our site I can understand that this message does not make us look very trust-worthy.

How ever we can not do anything against this message except to wait for the next virus-database-update by Avira.

Avira is already informed about the issue and told us that the problem will be solved with one of the next updates of their virus-definitions. Additionally Avira confirmed in an E-Mail that all files listed in the alert are VIRUS FREE.

I’ll keep you updated on this issue here in this blog.

Yours,
Stephan

UPDATE: Avira now confirms this issue online (in German): Entry was removed by avira
