Avast antivirus says emailed SA articles are phising scam: ecp.yusercontent.com. Avast previously identified SA emailed articles as virus. In past, this was an error by Avast. I believe it it is re, the SA email software- not the articles

I only had the problem on late Friday afternoon.

On Saturday, I did not open SA emailed articles in Inbox. I deleted to trash folder and opened in trash folder with no problem.

On Sunday, i opened SA emailed articles in Inbox with no problem..

So it looks like whatever it was, got fixed.

Since Avast caused a similar erroneous error last year, maybe they identified and fixed themselves.

As with previous Avast problem last year, I was able to open SA articles directly from you site.

The previous Avast problem where they incorrectly called emailed SA articles a virus was in the SA email software- not within the articles themselves which seemed to be likewise in this case.
