Avast mal popups

I can see many people have the same issue. I am getting “threat has been detected” from Avast with different urls every time. I did a full scan and a boot scan where I deleted everything but the problem remains. I am attaching the logs that I got.

Please help.

Post a screenshot, it doesn’t appear you have poweliks.

Remover notified.

It happens everytime i open chrome. Before the scans and the clean ups it was happening both with mozilla and chrome. Here is a screenshot when i hit more details at the popup one of many urls it presents me.

Let me know if this stops it, it may have dumped some files in the Chrome folder

Have the alerts ceased now

I reseted all my browsers and ran the adwcleaner, the Junkware Removal Tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and HitmanPro. Everything seems to be good! Thank you for your help!

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:
