Hi,
I’ve been using free Avast for few years now, never any problems but today something weird happened! Today I went to (as I usually do) regular torrent tfile.me website! And Avast went crazy - started blocking “harmful page or file” like there was no tomorrow! In few – 20 seconds Avast claims to block hundreds of “harmful page or file”. So I went to another site --bbc whatever but avast would not stop blocking… (bbc worked fine) and it looked like all the blocking was related to tfile.me… so I closed my firefox 28 browser but avast blocked something again… and short time later everything was normal again! I did full time scan with avast - found nothing, and I did scan with malwarebytes and there was nothing. (I thought maybe there was an attack on my pc)
An hour later I went to tfile.me again and the same thing happened to me again! I checked a “component status” in avast: I have - “2565 viruses blocked in last 30 days”!! Can’t make this up, all but 4 “viruses” were blocked today!! What the hell? I know tfile.me is torrent site, but is it possible for avast to block so much stuff in short period of time?
thanks,
