Did you get to the paypal site by clicking on a link in an e-mail?

More likely it is yet again another Avast false positive generic heuristic detection that none of the other 100 virus/malware engines see as a threat.

I don't use avast but apparently it was a false detection. If you are still having a problem can you update your avast manually and try again?

"Thank You for submitting! The problem You mentioned was caused by an incorrect detection. The detection was disabled, so the problem should be solved after next VPS update. We are sorry for any inconvenience You may have experienced."
