Hello,
I was reading this thread https://malwaretips.com/threads/asyncrat-15-09-2022.115628/ and when I try to access to VT page, I got a block from Avast; I don't know if it is a real threat or a false positive ? :unsure:
When I try again to open the page I can access to it without any alarm from Avast...

The web shield scans pages for malware and sometimes detects code snippets/fragments, producing a block. VirusTotal itself is not infected, it’s just this particular threat has part of it included within the behaviour section of the report.

It’s quite common with scripts.
