    Well I was having the same problem which you have mentioned over here. I have understood HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen2 should be detected when hidden iframe is there on the page. There could be lots of malicious code which can be using the hidden iframes and it could result into the bad stuff. In this particular situation it is not hidden on the system of yours. it is having display: and style of the iframe and it seems to be set as inline due to some unknown reason.

    If you are thinking that this particular antivirus software Avira has detected a clean file due to mistake the you should select Suspected False Positive (Not Malware) from the dropdown menu of the file type. You will get a complete a report which you sent to the Avira’s Vlab. In case there is a False Positive then it would be removed from the remove from the future releasing of the VDF file. So you would require for the releasing of the updates in the future.

    I have updated the antivirus program on the computer of mine. into Help and About menu it is displaying 7.11.08.147 version of the antivirus. I think it supposed to be .145 and I have fired the page and still it stating that there is virus. I am hoping that the developer team would take the appropriate action to get rid out from this particular situation as early as possible.
