Avira Warning On Browser About Author's Site For Nvidia Inspector

Cycloid Torus · Feb 5, 2016

Hi,
Just went to download nVidia Inspector from MG link to author's site - and Avira Browser Checker went nuts.

Is Avira nuts?

Is this the page you started at?
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/nvidia_inspector.html

Strange when I click on the authors name, instead of taking me to a website, it wants to download something, which I cancelled

A google search gets me here
Code:
http://orbmu2k.de/
with no warnings from MBAM and MS Security Essentials.

Did you go to the above website?

I'm not quite sure at what link the warning pops up.

I tried the 'author's site' link from the url you cited and the message displayed was pushed over anything else I could have seen as the 'automatic download' kicks in. URL that went nuts was http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/get/nvidia_inspector,1.html

The author's site link doesn't actually lead to the author's site but a blog download link.
The correct author's site is actually: http://orbmu2k.de/
This doesn't lead to any warning.
The downloaded zip file itself when scanned is seen as clean by malwarebytes and Comodo AV and SAS

The problem is with Avira giving a false positive.
I suggest you turn off Avira and download the file. It's safe. MajorGeeks tests every software that it hosts.
Don't forget to turn on Avira.

Many thanks!! Will do.

Also unusual, at least to me, when you go to the orbmu2k.de site this is what is shown
NVIDIA Inspector – Tool
Februar 17th, 2011

and yet MajorGeeks give a date of 08/19/2015. So where did this more up to date version come from?

Somehow the home page (blog) link (as in #3) gives an odd response here:

<?php
header("Location: https://www.be-webspace.de");
?>
Click to expand...

I can't find the above string in the actual home page, I'd guess that it's a bad response from the webhost?
