Must be something wrong with Avast, but my copy of Avast didn't whine when I got Autopager.

I love the add-ons with firefox!

My top 3:
NoScript
AdBlock Pluss
WOT (which basically allows you to see what sites have a bad rep)

Any good virus protection will occasionally give a "false positive". It's preferable that the heuristic checks err that way round, rather than periodically letting you get infected.

It scrolls through some sites for you, auto-loading the next page in sequence and displaying it all as one smooth line that you just scroll down. For example, if you have Autopager installed and you go to a Google search, you just continue scrolling down to see the second page of results rather than clicking on a link to load the next page.

It was a false positive. I reinstalled Autopager and didn't get a trojan.

I have recently found Dispute Finder add-on. It enables adding evidences against and for claims on the web, and thanks to it evaluating the truthfulness of information. It is only an experimental Intel add-on, but the idea is quite interesting.
