The latest update from '!Avast' seems to be causing real problems for anyone using Internet Explorer ( it seems all versions ) when you try and use PayPal

It is throwing up a false virus alerts saying it has detected a trojan called bankfraud-bbe

As far as anyone can work out it is a chance in several million of a combination or code in the IE, PayPal and !Avast

!Avast is aware of it and are working to correct the problem

There are no reported issues for either Firefox of Chrome users

Update on this,,,

A temporary fix is to do the following:
If you remove AVAST, re-install it, and then immediately go to the Settings and check "manual" updates and downloads that the problem is eliminated

Hopefully !Avast will issue a permanent fix with another engine update in the next few days
