Keep getting blocked virus message on a particular page of campaign in roll20?

Problem: Avast keeps popping up a "threat blocked" whenever a particular page in the roll20 campaign comes up? So how do remove the threat or whatever from the roll20 page so it stops doing that? History: During a game, a lawnmower picture was needed, and so, using the image search on roll20, an image was found and dragged in. It was blocked/didn't show up and Avast pops up the "threat blocked" warning. Cool. It seems roll20 blocked a threat, as did Avast. However, on future sessions, every time that particular page loaded, the threat blocked message popped up again. Did one of those picture-virus get embedded into that page? I can't even remove it? Web Browser - Chrome Browser Version -&nbsp;57.0.2987.110 Operating System - Windows 10 Javascript - Enabled Your anti-virus software - Avast =========== Please find screenshot of what the message that pops up looks like: I don't know why I'm not able to paste the console log in to the post... so here it is: <a href="https://puu.sh/v2Zl9/8a7c715e49.txt" rel="nofollow">https://puu.sh/v2Zl9/8a7c715e49.txt</a> I hope I did it right. Basically just copied-pasted the stuff in the console after hitting Ctrl-Shift-J in Chrome shortly after I navigated to roll20.

Hey, Evynd. Sorry to hear you're having issues. Is this an issue for all players in your game or just you?&nbsp;

It's very particular about only popping up when I navigate to that one page in the campaign though. Doesn't appear otherwise. Just on that page. Any ideas?

Can't see the full URL that Avast is flagging, but the IP address is apparently known to be used by a spam bot.

Looking into it a bit, the IP address directs to a website that is known malware. My advice would be to clear/delete that page, and do a malware/adware scan.&nbsp;

That particular page/map took forever to make...

Unfortunately, rollbacks are an automated feature available to Pro users only. Have you ran a malware/adware removal program since this began happening?
It sounds like it may just be an image reference to the bad site, though malicious code can be carried by JPGs and PNGs. Could a dev delete the image reference in that one image?

Normally that would work. However he said the image that triggered it never appeared. Either way, I can definitely alert a dev to the problem and see if they can offer a better solution.&nbsp;

Evynd, what's the name of the game and the name of the Page that has this bad image link in it?
Kristin C. said: Evynd, what's the name of the game and the name of the Page that has this bad image link in it? Hey Kristin! Thanks for responding! I sent you a PM, but it seems like you haven't gotten it? The name of the game is "Fallout Equestria: Lost History" and the page is called "Regiment Floor" The lawnmower image was found using roll20's image search and dragged in; I can't see the lawnmower... but maybe you can? There may be more than one as I remember being confused at not seeing anything until the virus image popped up and had to grab another image that didn't do that.

Evynd, did you whitelist roll20.net in your anti-virus software? Are you the only one who can't see the lawnmower?
