"Avast web shield has blocked a harmful webpage or file" pops up so many times

Viruses and worms

I keep receiving these pops up today when I used my browser. I’ve follow up the steps from the topic: “logs to assist in cleaning malware”. Could someone solve in for me? :-\

Unless you installed it yourself, malware has changed Chrome into a developer version making it possible to install all kind of other malware without the user noticing it.
I strongly suggest you start with removing Chrome.

Hi you also have McAfee installed and running, one of the AV’s must go :slight_smile:

Re-install Chrome

Unless you did this yourself, malware has changed your Chrome version into the Development Build. Among other things this allows malware to install any extension it wants. We need to resolve this.

  1. If you have bookmarks, let’s save them by exporting them - Export Bookmarks
  2. Then I need you to go Google Sync and sign into your account
  3. Scroll down until you see the “Stop and Clear” button and click on the button. At the prompt click on “Ok”
  4. Now we need to uninstall chrome via control panel .
    Note: When asked about user data or settings you must remove this also so please check the box.
