I Love YTtalk
Hi, so if some of you are using Avast right now and have noticed an infection pop up for a URL: https://yt3.ggpht.com/, many users are getting this right now and Avast have reported that it's a false positive and will be fixed in the next Stream update. I'm posting this here in case anyone else is an Avast user and has any concerns about it, like me. Fortunately everything is fine. They've also Tweeted me saying they've reported it to their virus lab and a team member has stated in their forums it's a false positive.
 
Oh thank you VERYYYYYYYYYY much sir! Woke up to this problem - was about to start digging through some program files for this s**t.

Ah probably a few Anti Virus systems picking it up, most likely YouTube changed something on their servers that some AVs weren't compatible with. I thought it was just Avast having the issue.
