Avast Meldung dass Bedrohung gesichert wurde

Hallo, ich bekomme ständig seit gestern ständig Meldungen über AVAS dass eine Bedrohung (“Verbindung zu einer website die sich shoplookz punkt me nennt gesichert wurde)

Ein Suchlauf sowohl mit AVAST als auch mit Malwarebyte hat keine verdächtigen Aktivitäten finden können.

Was kann das sein und was ist zu tun ?

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.

You are unlikely to find something on your system as it would appear that this is the Web Guard that is alerting. So a scan of your system (with AVAST and Malwarebytes) would be unlikely to find anything.

Try this:

  • Were you intending to visit the site ?
    If not start by clearing your browser cache and cookies, including 3rd party cookies and restart your browser. - If that resolves it you should be good to go.
  • If it doesn’t try running your browser with add-ons disabled.
  • If that resolves it, have you added or updated any add-ons ?
    • If so try disabling that add-on - and restart and try again.

If still not resolved and you are using Chrome based browser

  • try this suggestion by Avast Team member ‘lukor’ - What about page notifications?
  • Here: chrome://settings/content/notifications ?
  • Do you have all cleared?

Thanks for the answer.

The issue occurs only when visting some sites (and definitively not the one which was explicitely mentioned by AVAST

as I did not visit this one)

It occurs both when using the Microsoft Edge as well as tghe Google Chrome browser

It still occurs after having deleted all cookies and after having cleared the browser cache both in Edge as well as in Chrome

It occurs both when disabling cookies from 3rd parties as well as when not disabling those

3rd party cookies in the respective browser settings

I try to add a screenshot from AVAST

Edge is a Chromium language code based browser, so I would guess that the Chrome based suggestions should still work on those chromium based browsers Edge being one and the Avast Secure Browser is a Chromium based browser.

Did you try the step after having cleared the browser cache and cookies ?

The Alert is basically as a result of something on your browser making a connection to the site. Having cleared the browser cache and cookies - the next step is disabling add-ons, if that resolves it then you would be looking at (or for) newly added browser add-ons.

Ok, I have checked the browser add ons which are currently listed on both Edge as well as Chrome

I have now disabled all extensions in Edge (which also is the most actual version) but the warning does still occur…:unamused_face:

Looking at Chrome it seems that with some extensions still being enabled (as McAfee, Malwarebyte and Googledocs offline) there is NO warning from AVAST when going to the same website which gives a warning in Edge. However I had an old version of Chrome on the laptop which I just have updated to the actual one (with currently still no more AVAST warnings when using Chrome and going to the website which gave a warning in Edge.)

It leaves me with the issue that using Edge and having all extensions disabled the issue is still there

Unfortunately, Not using either Chrome or Edge I can’t check the settings or test.

I have never particularly liked the idea of the Chrome browser so I have never used it, the same is true of Chromium based browsers. I don’t know if there is anything else I can suggest. Short of visiting that first link that I gave as

Though it is strange that it now works with the latest version of Chrome, yet not with the Chromium based browser Edge.
However, having disabled add-ons, but you don’t say if you have tried running the command suggested by ‘Lukor’
chrome://settings/content/notifications now the way he has written this, it may be that you have to enter this command into the URL bar.

I just did a check on this URL at VirusTotal it has a large number of antivirus scanners to check sites and or files, whilst this returns only 12/93 (Avast doesn’t do this scan on VirusTotal), so it isn’t conclusive, but Highly Suspect as you aren’t actually trying to visit it.

VirusTotal check on the shoplookz(dot)me site.
