lately when ever i download something from megaupload avg has been saying it blocked threats coming from different sites, usually the thereat is a toolkit. are these false? or could it be the ads on megaupload? or is megaupload just trying to infect me?(OH hia forum its been a while)

It won't be megaupload, it'd be what's in the file your downloading.I'm downloading a ps2 game from a trusted site, and nothing found.May i have the link to what it is-pm me if your worried.

I have avg and use megaupload quite often, so mds may be right it could be something in the file.

The probable cause is the pop-up you get when you click on the download link if you're a free user. (or the file you're trying to download is infected.)
Instead try this:
Right click on the "Regular Download" button and click "Save link as..." this allows you to download the file without the pop-up.
Also get the adblock plus addon for firefox to reduce risk of infection.

no the files are fine and scan clean. i think it might be the ads since avg says the web address of the thereat isn't megaupload.com
