As the title states I’ve been having problems with Avast constantly blocking a url pointing towards xmlka most of the time. Occasionally it’ll try to various other websites as well. But mostly the xmlka one. It also seems to cause elevated spike in CPU and physical memory usage too. Any help would certainly appreciated!
aswMBR seems to lock up around …\appData\local\google\chrome\user Data\widevinecdm\1.4… I saved the completed log as far as it would go. Not sure what else to do there.

I uninstalled chrome a few weeks ago when the problem first started becoming an issue. However, there does not seem to be a rhyme or reason why the alert pops up. Often it pops up with no browsers open and the computer idling.
I will follow your instructions and post the logs as soon as completed.
