    its your antivirus creating a false positive mine was the same today with yahoo mail and a few others it needs to be look at from the virus makers and fix the bug in it that is making this happen

    same thing happened to me.avast found half the programs on my computer were or contained viruses.i tried to put some of them on the ignore list with no success.finally ditched avast and installed avira.seems to be a lighter program and certainly simpler to use.

    Just updated the program itself and the problem of the false positives have been fixed all you have to do is right click the A icon beside the clock and scroll up to update and update the program and all is sorted now 100% ;)
