help?

Anyone else having this problem? Everytime I go to a customized comment page on someone's journal, my Avast pops up and says that it's stopped a Trojan from downloading onto my computer. It doesn't do that when the comment page is in the regular LJ-style, though. It's really weird, so I've disabled the customized comment page on my own journal until this stops happening to me.

ETA: Oh thank god, I just checked support and they have this to say about it:

"Users using Avast! anti-virus software are seeing trojan horse warnings when loading various LiveJournal pages. LiveJournal staff have investigated these reports and have determined that there is no infection on the LiveJournal site, including the files served by the l-stat.livejournal.com domain, but rather that a change in Avast!'s heuristics/definitions files has caused them to incorrectly flag the loading of some LiveJournal JavaScript files. Avast! users should contact the Avast! support department directly to report this issue."

ETA2: It's been fixed with the newest Avast! update. Yay!
