Re: Avira warning on webpage - F/P or not?

Well I think the page is safe.. and in this case it is a false positive

HTML/Rce.Gen is a catch all Heuristics nomenclature that serves it purpose to give the user a heads up..but most of the time it has generated false positives..Avira has modified it many times in the past because of this..but it is better to be safe that sorry.

Recently...
MVPS HOSTS file are claimed to be infected with HTML/Rce.Gen

»www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/···086.html

Avira says that HTML/Rce.Gen is classified as the following.....

Description:
One major goal of malware authors is to execute code on the victims computer. This Remote Code Execution can be achieved by using security holes in the web browser. The AHeAD HTML Heuristics detects the attempt to execute code and alerts it as HTML/Rce.Gen.


Whenever I go to the Wall Street Journal website (using links given at bigcharts.com), my antivirus gives me two warnings of a threat named HTML/Rce.Gen.

What could that be?
